Yes, I have ported to IBM-PowerPC-604-AIX4.1.  Below is a cryptic list
of the changes I had to make to get it to build and work.  I will fill
out one of those bug reporting forms with these information later this
week and send it out.

FIX#1
FILE:   postgres95/src/backend/port/aix/mkldexport.sh
- --> The permissions on mkldexport.sh do not allow execution.
chmod ugo+x postgres95/src/backend/port/aix/mkldexport.sh
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
FIX#2
FILE:   All
- --> installbsd expects to be run by user 'root';  causes problems in compiling
- --> If this happens, do chown of all files under postgres95 to root, su to root,
    and do a gmake from the backend directory.  Loadbuild will continue where
    it stopped with installbsd problems earlier.  Then do a 'gmake install',
    chown everything to 'postgres' (remember to use a -h flag for the soft
    link in bin/postmaster).

- --> Below are some of the error messages you might see without FIX#2.
