	You are answering a different question.  AIX supports building
64-bit executables on 32-bit systems.  It does not depend on the
processor. 

	The question is about bootstrapping GCC.  GCC bootstrap wants to
run 64-bit executables during its configuration process.  This is
orthogonal to whether GCC or AIX can compile 64-bit executables on a
32-bit system.

       The bootstrap wants to run executables corresponding to each
multilib, so one currently needs to perform the bootstrap on a system
capable of running in all modes or restrict some of the multilib modes.
