Hard to say what the GNU binutils really support or not but trying them
is always possible. So I tried the binutils-2.20.51 :

[root@localhost build]# rs6000-ibm-aix4.3-as --version
GNU assembler (Linux/GNU Binutils) 2.20.51.0.8.20100412

This assembler was configured for a target of `rs6000-ibm-aix4.3'.

and then gcc-4.6.2.  Of course it crashed during the libgcc build :

when I hadn't those AIX 4.3 target headers :-( My configure options
can be seen in the following :

[root@localhost build]# gcc/xgcc -v
Using built-in specs.
COLLECT_GCC=gcc/xgcc
Target: rs6000-ibm-aix4.3
Configured with: ../configure --build=i686-linux-gnu 
--host=i686-linux-gnu --target=rs6000-ibm-aix4.3 --with-gnu-as 
--with-gnu-ld --enable-languages=c,c++ --disable-threads --disable-nls
Thread model: aix
gcc version 4.6.2 (GCC)

The '--disable-threads' didn't seem to have any influence!

The 'gmp', 'mpfr' and 'mpc' sources were built with the gcc-4.6.2
sources...

Are the AIX 4.3 etc C-libraries freely available somewhere nowadays?
Years ago I tried to find them but then IBM hadn't put them freely
available like SGI with Irix stuff and Sun with Solaris2 stuff :-(
