If POSTFIX is assuming xlc rather than looking for gcc then it should not be too difficult to ask the upstream author (Wietse Venema) to adjust the build procedure to look for (or work with) gcc on AIX. Since gcc is provided by IBM as (part of various RPMS) to work with AIX it should be reasonably easy to convince him (if a patch is provided) to support this. I haven't yet looked at getting postfix built on AIX but it is certainly one of the OpenPKG packages I'd like to use.
