Not at all, but treat AIX 4.3 the same as every other multilibbed O/S:
document that users either need to build on a system that can build *and
run* 64-bit applications, or use --disable-multilib to avoid the issue in
the first place.

All O/Ss should be treated the same in this respect, as first (or second ;-)
class citizens.
