--- Comment #5 from dje.gcc at gmail dot com <dje.gcc at gmail dot com> --- IBM AIX has changed libintl and older versions are not in the default path. There may be other versions installed on the system in different paths (/usr/lib, /opt/cfarm, etc.) that could work with LIBPATH overrides. AIX no longer is a secondary platform for GCC releases. GCC is no longer actively maintained on AIX.
