Based on that understanding, I did not try to build a 3.4.x-based gpc on APX 6 yet - as gcc-3.4.x itself isn't going to work.
AFAICS the "AIX 6 support" is the following patch:
I did not try this one yet (lack of time).
But I tried this:
Given that, it is likely that building compiler on AIX 5 and transferring binary to AIX 6 will give you perfectly running compiler.
And the resulting GPC binary indeed seems to work fine on AIX 6.
(I did not run the test suite, just compiled & ran a very simple "hello, world" program).
If you want to build on AIX 6 backporting the patch should be relatively easy.
I'll give that one a try next month (will be away for two weeks now) and report back.
