Here's the AIX equivalent using IBM XL C/C++. I'm working from GCC119
on the compile farm (gcc119.fsffrance.org).

    $ cat configure.ac
    AC_INIT([Test], [1.0])
    AC_PROG_CXX

    SAVED_CXXFLAGS="$CXXFLAGS"
    CXXFLAGS="-qrtti-nonsense"
    AC_MSG_CHECKING([for -qrtti-nonsense])
    AC_COMPILE_IFELSE([AC_LANG_PROGRAM([])],
      [AC_MSG_RESULT([yes])],
      [AC_MSG_RESULT([no])]
    )
    CXXFLAGS="$SAVED_CXXFLAGS"

And the result:

    $ CXX=xlC ./configure
    checking whether the C++ compiler works... yes
    checking for C++ compiler default output file name... a.out
    checking for suffix of executables...
    checking whether we are cross compiling... no
    checking for suffix of object files... o
    checking whether we are using the GNU C++ compiler... no
    checking whether xlC accepts -g... yes
    checking for -qrtti-nonsense... checking for gcc... gcc
    checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes
    checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes
    checking for gcc option to accept ISO C89... none needed
    yes

And an XLC test program:

    $ cat test.cxx
    int main (int argc, char* argv)
    {
      return 0;
    }

And the result:

    $ xlC -qrtti-nonsense test.cxx -o test.exe
    1540-5200 (W) The option "rtti-nonsense" is not supported.

    $ echo $?
    0
