My employer favors the use of older systems for software builds, as Unix is
generally solid on forward compatibility and this prevents awkward scenarios
where a customer is running an older OS than we are.

Continuing GCC support is one of the downsides of this approach, of course. I
wouldn't be surprised if support for AIX 4.3 is obsoleted soon, but I'd like to
ensure that everything is working before that point. (I didn't follow up
Solaris 8 as aggressively, and now I'm trying to get some fixes in even as the
support is being ripped out of 4.8.)

I can provide a unified-diff patch for the header in question; I don't know how
to hack fixincludes. (If anyone can point me to a fixinclude that does the same
kind of one-line change elsewhere, I could work with that...)
