gen-num-limits is run for ech multilib, so I assume that it is
failing in the "ppc64" directory, which is a known problem. libstdc++-v3
configure is trying to run a 64-bit application on a 32-bit system.
The workarounds are either: 1) configure gcc-3.0 with
--disable-aix64, or 2) manually create the 64-bit limits and stamp files
then restart the libstdc++-v3 build.
The binutils-2.11.2 configuration for AIX 4.3.3 unfortunately
still contains a number of bugs -- not show-stopper bugs.
