This is not a GCC bug. Binutils was updated to support AIX 4.3.3, but has not
been maintained, improved, or updated for AIX 5. It can do simple things, but
does not fully support more advanced features. For instance,

If GNU Binutils and Linker do not support AIX 5L sufficiently to bootstrap GCC,
then you should infer that does not support AIX 5L sufficiently for anything

That says you can't bootstrap GCC on AIX 5L with GNU ld and as. It doesn't say
you can't build a cross compiler with them, and it doesn't say you can't use
them after GCC is bootstrapped.
In fact, I have looked at coll

"The native as and ld are recommended for bootstrapping on AIX 4 and required

Tell me what binutils doesn't support and I'll file a bug on binutils. I
already filed a bug about the default rpath in the cross compiler version of
gnu ld for AIX 5.3.0.0, and they fixed it. They didn't say anything a

Does not matter, binutils does not support AIX 5.3 features.
