+Because GCC on AIX is built as a 32-bit executable by default,
+(although it can generate 64-bit programs) the GMP and MPFR libraries

Errors involving @code{alloca} when building GCC generally are due
to an incorrect definition of @code{CC} in the Makefile or mixing files
compiled with the native C compiler and GCC@. During the stage1 phase of
