Comment (by Martin Baute <solar@…>):

 It took me a moment to figure out what exactly the command line used by
 Jam would be, as it does not show up in bootstrap.log. Then I came up with
 the idea of putting a "GNARF" in the options in build.jam, and checking
 the error message in the log, which *did* print the command line.

 So, the two attacked assembler files were generated via:

 {{{
 xlc -o bin.aixppc/command.s -DNDEBUG -DOPT_HEADER_CACHE_EXT
 -DOPT_GRAPH_DEBUG_EXT -DOPT_SEMAPHORE -DOPT_AT_FILES -DOPT_DEBUG_PROFILE
 -DOPT_FIX_TARGET_VARIABLES_EXT -DOPT_IMPROVED_PATIENCE_EXT
 -DYYSTACKSIZE=5000 -S -O3 -qstrict -qinline -bmaxdata:0x40000000 command.c
 }}}

 (Equivalent for lists.c.)

 I don't know about a Valgrind tool for AIX, but some of the compiler
 debugging options look promising. I'll toss them at the problem as soon as
 I get around to it. However, I can only access the AIX during office
 hours, which puts me on a budget here.

 Thanks for your help, anyway.
