 is buggy; you should upgrade:

+[AIX 4.3 ld]
+
+The following is from the gcc install/SPECIFIC file.
+
+   Some versions of the AIX binder (linker) can fail with a relocation
+   overflow severe error when the -bbigtoc option is used to link
+   GCC-produced object files into an executable that overflows the TOC.
+A
+   fix for APAR IX75823 (OVERFLOW DURING LINK WHEN USING GCC AND  
+   -BBIGTOC) is available from IBM Customer Support and from its
+   [27]service.boulder.ibm.com website as PTF U455193.   
+
+   Binutils does not support AIX 4.3 (at least through release 2.9). GNU
+   as and GNU ld will not work properly and one should not configure GCC
+   to use those GNU utilities. Use the native AIX tools which do
+   interoperate with GCC.
+
+add -Wl,-bbigtoc to USER_LDFLAGS, ie:

+    LDFLAGS='-Wl,-bbigtoc' ./configure
