That's the hard way to do it, and might not even be possible if you don't have the sources for the AIX C library. The easy way to do it is to copy the root of an installed AIX filesystem, with /usr/include and /usr/lib, and build a cross-compiler with the '--with-sysroot=$sysroot' pointing at the root of tis filesystem.
