I'm not in a position to argue about it from technical point of view. 
That was for me just a matter of choice and feasibility.
In the past I had serious problems with gcc on AIX getting 
segmentation fautlt on diverse occasions. On the other hand, 
I believe (that is just my feeling:-)) that the "native" compiler 
of a vendor offers you a better support.

> Emil, I'm also keen to hear if you got MLton compiled OK on AIX?

I guess that I have already posted the following answer to you or to the list(!):

After modifying bin/mlton-script and executing "gmake all-no-docs CPPFLAGS=-I/home/emil/local/include"
I get now (or to put it more precisely as before) the following errors:

Any idea?
Did you proceed to compile mlton in the same way as I did it now?

Thank you for your feedback!
