gdb-6.3 64Bit build fails on AIX 5.3

[Richard Walter]

Hello,
i try to build 64Bit  gdb-6.3 on AIX 5.3 (Power 5)  with GNU make 3.80 
and gcc 4.0.0.
Here is my configure call from a seperate build directory:
AR="ar -X 32_64" NM="nm -X 32_64" CC="gcc -maix64" 
/usr/src/gdb-6.3/configure --disable-werror --prefix=/usr/local/gdb64 
--enable-64-bit-bfd --exec-prefix=/usr/local/gdb64 --disable-tui
Here is the gmake output:

Is this a bug or a weird configuration line ?
I had no problems to build a 64 Bit gdb on Solaris 10.
