Thanks to the help from this list on the arg list too long, I got gcc 
3.4.0 compiled under AIX.  When I tried to make install, I got, at various 
points, "/usr/local/bin/bash: ../gcc340src/install-sh: A file or directory 
in the path name does not exist.".  When I put the full path of install-sh 
in the INSTALL variable in the Makefile, it works.

The directory I was getting the source from (../gcc340src) is actually a 
symlink to another directory.  Could that be the root of the problem?  
When I set the full path in the Makefile, I used the real path.
