[erlang-questions] Problems Building Erlang on AIX 5.3

[andrew mmc]

If it's not an option, then it's not an option... But gcc can be downloaded
as source and compiled on your machine - the best bet is to perform a
bootstrap build, where it uses the native system compiler to build itself,
then uses that new compiler to compile gcc again, giving you a clean build.
 In the past I've found it a pretty simple process, which might save you
time if you're struggling to get erlang built.
