Downloaded -----bash-4.1.tar.gz -------- file from below link
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/bash/bash-4.1.tar.gz

Downloaded -------gcc-4.2.0-3.aix5.3.ppc.rpm---------file from below link

The page you linked from IBM has downloads for bash and gcc for 6.1; any reason you're heading in the direction you are?

make -d

may give you a better idea what failed.
