 AIX what? There are different AIX-templates

	rs6000-ibm-aix3.[01]*)
	rs6000-ibm-aix3.2.[456789]* | powerpc-ibm-aix3.2.[456789]*)
	rs6000-ibm-aix4.[12]* | powerpc-ibm-aix4.[12]*)
	rs6000-ibm-aix4.[3456789]* | powerpc-ibm-aix4.[3456789]*)
	rs6000-ibm-aix[56789].* | powerpc-ibm-aix[56789].*)
	rs6000-ibm-aix*)

supported in the gcc-2.95.x and yours seems to not fit into any of
these...

 Newlib ?  Please tell us more about your target... Is it some very
special target, not at all compatible with the IBM AIX'es?  Doesn't
it have any system headers and libs of its own?  Or why you try the
newlib as the C-library for the target?

 The normal method is to use the libs and headers from the target
system, not newlib or glibc. Only the embedded systems use newlib
as their C-library (ok, there are some minimalistic ports for some
systems like SVR3.2/i386...)
