I'm told 4.x and 5.x are quite different. This message: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2000-12/msg00509.html which I found by searching gcc.gnu.org, suggests you 'add "-Wl,-bbigtoc" to LDFLAGS' . But it is an old message. 3.0 is an old version of gcc. GCC 3.3.3 is newer, may work better, and has been bootstrapped on aix 4.1.5, 4.3.3, 5.1.0, and 5.2.0 . (See gcc.gnu.org/buildstat.html . http://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html#*-ibm-aix* gives platform-specific notes for building on aix. You should read it carefully.
