- Here is the repo of things I have compiled on AIX 7.2 under Qemu-system-ppc64 
- Since the age of M1 things became much faster on the Apple silicon and it 
  is quite usable now on it (under qemu-system-ppc64  on an arm64 machine) 

- All binaries are compiled as 32bit RISC System/6000 executables since  XCOFF 64bit 
  stuff tends to crash a lot under qemu-system-ppc64 on AIX 7.2

GCC 10.2.0  please extract to /usr/local/gcc  is configured as follows (took 3 days to build)  

Using built-in specs.
COLLECT_GCC=gcc
COLLECT_LTO_WRAPPER=/usr/local/gcc/libexec/gcc/powerpc-ibm-aix7.2.5.0/10.2.0/lto-wrapper
Target: powerpc-ibm-aix7.2.5.0
Configured with: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/gcc --mandir=/usr/local/gcc/man --infodir=/usr/local/gcc/info --with-local-prefix=/usr/local/gcc --with-as=/usr/ccs/bin/as --with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld --enable-languages=c,c++ --disable-nls --without-gnu-ld --without-gnu-as --disable-libssp --with-isl=/usr/local --with-gmp=/usr/local --with-gmp-include=/usr/local/include --with-gmp-lib=/usr/local/lib/ --with-pmfr=/usr/local/ --with-mpfr-include=/usr/local/include --with-mpfr-lib=/usr/local/lib --with-mpc=/usr/local/ --with-mpc-include=/usr/local/include/ --with-mpc-lib=/usr/local/lib/
Thread model: aix
Supported LTO compression algorithms: zlib
gcc version 10.2.0 (GCC) 

Most of the code I have compiled was using GCC 10.2.0  
Also some dependecies are from AIX TOOLBOX (opensource) which you can install via yum

- GDB 8.3.1  (RISC System/6000) 
  (gdb is compiled with GCC 10.2.0 so you need the GCC included here) 
  (GDB 8.3.1 is configured for /usr/local/gdb  so extract the tarball in /usr/local)
- FLTK-1.3.5 + Dillo 3 
- Games you can find in Games 
- xephem 4.0   
- simh - the current simh patched sources + binaries in BIN for AIX 7.2
- dosbox 0.74 (needs SDL_AUDIODRIVER="esd" set in env variable) 
- XGAMES (a few X11 older games )
