could help someone with below links if needed for future use..just in case

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

Extract the file on /tmp/bash

cd /tmp/bash

then use

smitty install
Install and Update Software
Install Software
.
Then continue in the instillation by using smitty menu ..

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?
Code:
make -d

may give you a better idea what failed.
