A patch to fix AIX threading issues in libstdc++-v3 was already
approved in principle.  Since this approach worked for you and was the
most contained fix, it was installed on mainline.

Since this patch, along with your patch to the AIX configuration,
fixes a regression on a past gcc release, IMHO they should be moved to
the 3.1 branch as well.  BTW, our general rule in the libstdc++-v3
tree is to wait at least a day and then move such patches after
bootstrapping in new context.  You should feel free to do that move as
the maintainer of the AIX port.  I would do it but I can't test both
together as required by my reading of the branch rules.
