GAS does have some limitations with respect to XCOFF support including the problem with included files which you mention, but I do not understand why that is important enough to disable the AIX XCOFF configuration of GAS. Some support is better than no support: IBM XAS still is distributed with AIX 4.1 so one can use that if one encounters the debugging information limitation.
