	With the appropriate header files and libraries installed, GCC
itself should be able to function as a cross-compiler producing assembly
files.  The GNU assembler and GNU linker do not work reliably for AIX 5.1
and above.  There is no other cross-assembler and cross-linker for AIX
5.1, as far as I know.
