	Both G++ and G77 now overflow the AIX TOC.  -bbigtoc is an AIX
linker option added in AIX 4.1 that fixes up global references and solves
the overflow problem.  GNU ld for AIX is woefully out of date with respect
to AIX ld and does not support that option.  The real question is why are
you going to the trouble of configuring with --with-gnu-as and
--with-gnu-ld ?
