Uli,

Bootstrap on AIX has been broken because of the generic GCC latent bug
that seems to be popping up on various architectures.  I could not
bootstrap GCC from 11 Jul to 14 Jul.  I was able to  bootstrap on 15
Jul. I want to ensure that bootstrap is functioning consistently
before approving these and the other ABI changes so that I can confirm
that the patches don't accidentally affect AIX.

Thanks, David
