Thanks
I have resolved it by downloading the AIX-Toolbox 72 DVD and reinstalling with
rpm -Uvh ./ppc/gettext-0.20.2-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm \
./ppc-7.2/libgcc-8-1.aix7.2.ppc.rpm \
./ppc-7.2/libgcc8-8.3.0-6.aix7.2.ppc.rpm \
./ppc/libiconv-1.16-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm \
./ppc/glib2-2.56.1-3.aix6.1.ppc.rpm \
./ppc/libffi-3.2.1-3.aix6.1.ppc.rpm \
./ppc-7.2/libgomp8-8.3.0-6.aix7.2.ppc.rpm \
./ppc-7.2/libgomp-8-1.aix7.2.ppc.rpm \
./ppc-7.2/libstdc++-8-1.aix7.2.ppc.rpm \
./ppc-7.2/libstdc++8-8.3.0-6.aix7.2.ppc.rpm \
./ppc/libtextstyle-0.20.2-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm \
./ppc/libunistring-0.9.10-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm \
./ppc/libxml2-2.9.10-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm \
./ppc/info-6.7-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm \
./ppc/xz-libs-5.2.5-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm \
./ppc/zlib-1.2.11-2.aix6.1.ppc.rpm \
./ppc/bash-5.1.4-2.aix6.1.ppc.rpm --replacepkgs
I started with just libstdc++ and added all the other rpms based on the requirements

Here are some commands that might help troubleshoot this.
Find out if there are any aix6.1 or aix7.1 specific packages that should be reinstalled with their aix7.2 equivalents:
rpm -qla | grep ibm-aix | grep -v -e 'ibm-aix7\.2\.0\.0' -e pkg-config
rpm -qla | grep ibm-aix | xargs rpm -qf | sort -u
Here are some packages that may be a problem:
$ rpm -qa | grep -i -e libstdc -e libintl -e libgcc | sort
libgcc-8-1.ppc
libgcc8-8.3.0-6.ppc
libstdc++-8-1.ppc
libstdc++-devel-8-1.ppc
libstdc++8-8.3.0-6.ppc
libstdc++8-devel-8.3.0-6.ppc
$
Here is a command to force reinstall using RPM, since YUM/DNF are not working:
rpm -ivh --force libgcc*.rpm
If DNF or YUM were working, I run these after any INSTALLP system update, since these have post install scripts that copy shared library objects to /opt/freeware or make other AIX specific updates to /opt/freeware:
dnf reinstall -y krb5-libs libiconv libXrender openldap gcc8 \
/var/cache/dnf/AIX_Toolbox_72-4f972c24490d78f0/packages/gcc8-8.3.0-6.aix7.2.ppc.rpm
yum reinstall -y krb5-libs libiconv libXrender openldap gcc8
These will find cached RPM files in YUM or DNF specific to AIX 7.1 or AIX 7.2:
ls -ld /var/cache/???/AIX_Toolbox_71*/packages/*.aix7.1.ppc.rpm
ls -ld /var/cache/???/AIX_Toolbox_72*/packages/*.aix7.2.ppc.rpm
This would force reinstall all of the AIX 7.2 RPM packages that have been cached (you may need to manually download the AIX 7.2 RPM packages):
rpm -ivh --force /var/cache/???/AIX_Toolbox_72*/packages/*.aix7.2.ppc.rpm
These examples may help find packages that modify symlinks and/or shared libraries:
rpm -qa --scripts|grep -wi ln
rpm -qa --scripts|grep -wi ar
$ rpm -q --scripts gettext
preinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
if test -e /opt/freeware/lib/libintl.a.savgettext; then
rm -f /opt/freeware/lib/libintl.a.savgettext
fi
postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
/sbin/install-info /opt/freeware/info/gettext.info.gz /opt/freeware/info/dir || :
preuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
if [ "$1" = 0 ]; then
/sbin/install-info --delete /opt/freeware/info/gettext.info.gz /opt/freeware/info/dir || :
fi
posttrans scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
# Reinstate the LPP rpm.rte symlink, they have probably been replaced/removed
# Get the LPP rpm.rte version first and check for rpm.rte version because
# rpm.rte >= 4.13.0.4 ships files in "/usr/opt/rpm" path and
# rpm.rte below that level ships files in "/usr/opt/freeware"
ver=$(lslpp -Lc rpm.rte | /usr/bin/awk 'FNR==2' | /usr/bin/awk -F':' '{print $3}')
f1=$(echo $ver | /usr/bin/cut -d"." -f1)
f2=$(echo $ver | /usr/bin/cut -d"." -f2)
f4=$(echo $ver | /usr/bin/cut -d"." -f4)
# 3.0.5.x, 4.9.1.3, 4.13.0.x, 4.15.1.x are the various rpm.rte levels
# It's enough to compare First, Second & Fourth fields against 4.13.0.4
if [[ ( $f1 -gt 4 ) || ( $f1 -eq 4 && ( ( $f2 -gt 13 ) || ( ( $f2 -eq 13 ) && ( $f4 -ge 4 )))) ]]; then
LINK_PATH="/usr/opt/rpm"
else
LINK_PATH="/usr/opt/freeware"
fi
if ! test -e /usr/lib/libintl.a && ! test -h /usr/lib/libintl.a
then
ln -sf ${LINK_PATH}/lib/libintl.a /usr/lib/libintl.a
fi
