Mario, I, personally, have not encountered MAXDATA limits building application with GCC (as opposed to Java), but I can see that some large applications might encounter them. I bootstrap GCC every night and build many GNU applications with the default GCC configuration. I can adjust the default GCC bootstrap to include a larger MAXDATA value.
Is there a particular reason that you use different values on AIX 5.3 and AIX 6.1: MAXDATA=0x40000000 on AIX 5.3 and MAXDATA=0x50000000 on AIX 6.1?
