The binary distribution is pre-built, meaning that it has been
configured and compiled for AIX. It should be a snapshot of the files
installed by GCC so that it can be installed on another system.
I believe that UCLA repository distributes tar files and the
Groupe Bull repository distributes AIX installp-format (SMIT) files. UCLA
also mirrors the Groupe Bull website with a link at the bottom-left side
column on the UCLA welcome page.
