Did you read and follow the AIX-specific installation instructions?

http://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html#x-ibm-aix

If you use Bash, the configure step is much faster.

GCC does not configure and build Java by default on AIX, so I
am surprised that Java is listed as an enabled language.

I have built GCC 4.3.2 on AIX 5.3.0.0, and did not experience
the fmodl conflict.
