If it were my port, however, I'd probably do as Roger suggests; test for 
the broken assembler and disable multilibs that won't work with that 
assembler.  I agree that looping forever during a bootstrap seems 
undesirable.

However, I'm willing to leave this in the hands of the AIX maintainer, 
i.e., David.  If David feels strongly that the status quo is better -- 
or if nobody produces a configure patch for the test -- then I guess 
it's OK as is.
