I've never done it, but, in theory, you can build gcc as a cross
compiler for AIX on your Linux box at home.  I suspect that this is a
non-trivial exercise, though.  

I always make it a point to be extra nice to my IT folks.  I always wind
up needing favors from them.  Like installing several megs of AIX gcc
binaries in my home directory.
