Sure. And now? How do I differ in mk/platform/AIX.mk between gcc and xlc? 
Can I differ there between different compiler versions (if there're 
differences)? etc.
The documentation I found for all those things is very poor. Does a document 
like a porters handbook exists which I've simply not found?

I sent you an e-mail yesterday related to this and a few other issues I ran 
into build some pkg's using xlc as recommented. I would be glad to help 
getting a permanent improvement and don't create results you finally can't use.
