Hi Perry,
>> /usr/work/src/binutils-2.22/bfd/bfd.c: In function '_bfd_default_error_handler':
>> /usr/work/src/binutils-2.22/bfd/bfd.c:730:10: error: value computed is not used

My guess would be that gcc is complaining that the result of calling the 
"putc" function is not being used.  In fact, I suspect that on AIX putc 
is not a function call at all, but rather a macro, and the value that 
this macro computes is not being used.

Try changing line 730 to:

   (void) putc ('\n', stderr);

If this works, please let me know and I can update the sources.

Cheers
   Nick
