Help building gcc

[jjohnson at sunrise-linux.com (miah)]

I'm not really familiar with AIX, but what I'd try is installing that
old 2.96, downloading current (3.4.1?), and building it with that,
'make bootstrap' is the best way to go as it will rebuild itself with
itself.  You may have already tried all that, but thats my suggestion.
Good luck.
