The odd bit to me was that the make bootstrap-lean was picking up gnu-ld from ~user/local/bin even when I'd deliberately removed that from the path, which I checked as "which ld" gave /usr/bin/ld, the AIX linker. Thanks for the fast response - the fix appears to be to delete binutils as it is not helpful.
