 AIX Make frequently has problems with GCC makefiles.  GNU Make 3.79.1 or
 newer is recommended to build on this platform.
 
+To speed up the configuration phases of bootstrapping and installing GCC,
+one may use GNU Bash instead of AIX @command{/bin/sh}, e.g.,
+
+@smallexample
+   % CONFIG_SHELL=/opt/freeware/bin/bash
+   % export CONFIG_SHELL

+where we strongly recommend using GNU make and specifying an absolute path
+to invoke @var{srcdir}/configure.

 Errors involving @code{alloca} when building GCC generally are due

 compiled with the native C compiler and GCC@.  During the stage1 phase of
