I don't think so. I was able to compile gcc 3.4.3 on AIX 5.2 ML05 in less than 6 hours. The machine is a p615 with 2 power4 1.5Ghz cpus and 4Gb of ram. Here is the output of "gcc -v"
-bash-2.05b$ gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc/powerpc-ibm-aix5.2.0.0/3.4.3/specs
Configured with: ../gcc-3.4.3/configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-threads=aix --enable-languages=c,c++ --disable-nls
Thread model: aix
gcc version 3.4.3
I found that I must have ML05 installed to get this to compile.
If you wish I can make a source and binary RPM available.
