    found the problem, due to faulty PATH, the script used the gnu binutils which of course failed miserably...after forcing it to aix tools everything worked. so consider this FIXED.

    Good to know your problem is fixed.
    Yes binutils on AIX has issues and it does not work for many cases.
    We have plans to fix binutils but it is big project and going to take time.
    So please use AIX tools only for building any packages or software.
