I'd defer this section to AIX experts; I've always assumed that people

All my AIX systems have the coreutils RPM from the IBM Toolbox
installed (extra CD, or, these days, from ftp.software.ibm.com), so I
never ran into the incompatible install issue.
However, for those without coreutils a patch to make installbsd work
(with comments from Junio taken into account) would be reasonable I
guess. Particularly if the patch could be made so that it's easy
enough to switch to coreutils install if you wish to.
A new version of the patch is in preparation.
Indeed - I don't have root access on the machine in question, so
installing a RPM is not an option. Apart from that - keeping a
dependency on coreutils just to have ginstall available does not seem
such a good idea. Anyway - the patch allows changing to ginstall simply
by changing the INSTALLDIR variable.
