Hi, digging through my e-mail I realised I should have 
answered this one :-(.

I don't have an aix3.2.5 box here.
an aix4.1.4 binary is in

http://www.di.ufpe.br/~alms/tmp/ghc-2.03-rs6000-ibm-aix.tar.gz

This version didn't support (i.e. didn't have the fixes for) 
profiling, concurrent or parallel ghc on zix (yet), 
but from it you can build 2.05.

If you manage to get the .hc files from any more recent build
(2.04 or 2.05) you should be able to build a version from 
scratch.
[My build is not very up-to-date, but I could try to make
the .hc files for the compiler and libraries available.]

cheers,

Andre.
