All my AIX systems have the coreutils RPM from the IBM Toolbox
installed (extra CD, or, these days, from ftp.software.ibm.com), so I
never ran into the incompatible install issue.
However, for those without coreutils a patch to make installbsd work
(with comments from Junio taken into account) would be reasonable I
guess. Particularly if the patch could be made so that it's easy
enough to switch to coreutils install if you wish to.
