I missed that you're on AIX. So either you're using an older version of GCC to bootstrap, or IBM's xlc/xlC compilers to bootstrap. Here is a thought I had up re-thinking this. This might be an architecture problem. Which version of the POWER chips are you using? YOu might have to force the GCC configuration process to use -march to specify the right processor. But as far as I know, the configure script should be smart enough to figure that out. It's been about ten years since I used the xlc/xlC compilers, so I am not sure how one would select the architecture they want.
