I don't have any AIX boxes to play with any more, I guess (after reading the bug description) that it should work if you compile without generating debug info (-g).

I have compiled 9.0.4 on AIX 5.3 with GCC 4.1.1 without any issues. (well the regression tests hit an issue on REL9_0_STABLE builds that they don't hit with more recent branches but that is due to a makefile related issue that I should post about in a different thread. The buildfarm member grebe (http://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_history.pl?nm=grebebr=HEAD) does this.

[HACKERS] postgesql-9.0.4 compile on AIX 6.1 using gcc 4.4.6
Hello, I am just trying to compile postgresql-9.0.4 on AIX 6100-06-03-1048 using gcc 4.4.6. Since many years I did this successfully on other versions of AIX using xlc. However my version 9 of xlc is no longer running on AIX 6.1 and no one is willing to sponsor a new version of xlc. So I started trying to compile postgresql with gcc 4.4.6. The installation of gcc was a nightmare. There were unresolved dependencies that needed to be ignored with parameter nodeps when installing by rpm!? Unfortunately that was not all.
