+You will need gcc.  The AIX xlC compiler doesn't work, but probably
+could be made to.  gcc-3.3.2 has been tested.
+
+bootstrap-pkgsrc has been tested on AIX 4.3.  It will probably work on newer
+releases also.
+
+Please note the use of GNU binutils on AIX is not supported.
+Make sure GNU ld is not in your path.
+
+If you are using gcc
+--------------------
+It makes life much simpler if you only use the same gcc consistently
+for building all packages.
+
+It is recommended that an external gcc be used only for bootstrapping
+gcc from pkgsrc, lang/gcc3 is recommended.
+
+Post bootstrap setup
+--------------------
+
+Here is an example mk.conf:
+
+--- Cut here ---
+# Configure scripts don't always get this right
+MACHINE_GNU_PLATFORM=powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.3.0
+CC=gcc
+CHECK_SHLIBS=no
+RENAME=
+USE_GCC3=yes
+PKGMAKECONF=${MAKECONF}
+--- Cut here ---
+
+You also need to setup a few environment variables:
+
+PKG_DBDIR=/usr/pkg/pkgdb
+MAKECONF=/usr/pkg/etc/mk.conf
+MAKESYSPATH=/usr/pkg/share/mk
+
+You'll also want to set PATH, MANPATH and LIBPATH
