the gcc config program causes gcc to compile code for the platform on which it 
is running. Check the docs on how to setup cross-compile options. It *might* 
be the case that you're using instructions that the other boxes can't handle; 
it might also be the difference in the AIX versions. I'm quite sure you can't 
run AIX 4.1.4 executables on AIX 3.2.5. That's a problem with AIX, not with 
gcc.
