Just tried to hack a little. Using a binary editor, I changed the
integer (pyvers) in the bootloader which is used to determine the
python version and thus the name of the libpython to load. Then a
replaced the libpython2.2.a with the libpython2.6.a from the AIX 6.1
machine. Now, the bootloader ran and loaded the python lib, but the
program never wrote anything to stdout (as I would expect).

So I don't think I will spend more time on neither Python 2.2 nor AIX
5.2 (desupported in 2009) nor AIX 5.3 (to be desupported in April
2012).

Couldn't we write something like:

"PyInstaller works on AIX. The boot loader builds with GCC and is
tested with GCC version 4.2.0 on AIX 6.1. Python executables created
using PyInstaller on AIX 6.1 should work on AIX 5.2/5.3. PyInstaller
will not work with statically linked Python libraries which has been
encountered in Python 2.2 installations on AIX 5.x."

Have a nice weekend.
