I have been lurking on this list, hoping to get an answer to just
that question. After I told my sysadmin about pdftex, he agreed to
upgrade to teTeX 1.0. He had similar problems and he did try to compile
pdftex from the source, so far with no success.
OS: AIX 4.3.2 PPC
compiler: comes with the system, NOT the GNU compiler
Luckily, there are other systems I can use. The last time this was
mentioned on this list, no one replied to the question, "has anyone been
able to install teTeX 1.0 under AIX 4.3.2?"
If you manage to compile pdftex, or otherwise solve this problem,
please let us know how.
