I have no idea how to pursue this. For now I will just use xlc.

If anyone wants to try and solve this and needs help, I will keep
the gcc build tree I have and give any assistance requested.

What version of gcc, and have you tried egcs 1.1.1?

If you would like to start a doc/FAQ_AIX this would be a good thing to
start with...

And if you want to submit a patch for the conditional definition of data
types try something like

$ diff -c file.h.orig file.h > file.h.patch
