When running configure on AIX 5.3 using:

OPT=-O2 LDFLAGS=-s ./configure --with-gcc="xlc_r -q64" --with-cxx-main="xlC_r -q64" --disable-ipv6 AR="ar -X64"

The Makefile still contains g++ as the CXX compiler to be used.

Is this still a problem as AIX is now up to (at least) 7.1?

From memory I do not believe this is still a problem, at least on Python3.

There was recently a different issue (do not recall the #) where there was an issue with CXX regardless of compiler.

In any case, the apporach I would recommend would be to export the environment variable OBJECT_MODE=64.

The only issue I have run into is when pip modules require a C compiler and there is a size mis-match (unset OBJECT_MODE is assumed to be 32. exporting OBJECT_MODE=64 and then running the pip command again ends successfully (or at least goes farther).
