OK, I think I've figured it out, it is a binutils config problem.  I'm
compiling on a Power3, and lsattr says that it is a PowerPC_POWER3
box.  config.guess greps POWER here and secects rs6000-ibm-aix4.3.3.0
instead of powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.3.0.  POWER3 is really a PowerPC, and
does not even support the rios1/2 specific instructions.  config.bfd
in binutils only enables coff64 for powerpc-*-aix*.  So either
config.guess should be changed to detect powerpc-ibm-aix* or
config.bfd has to be changed to enable 64-bit for rs6000-ibm-aix*
targets.  Probably both should be changed.  This distinction of
rs6000-aix and powerpc-aix is confusing, the later is really a subset
of the former.
