Do you mean AIX 5.3 or 6.1?
There is no 6.3 version.

FAIL: mkinst3.test
PASS: exeext4-p.test
=====================================
1 of 2 tests failed
See tests/test-suite.log
Please report to address@hidden
=====================================

This one passed on the second run...
The result is in test-suite.log.gz (with the failure for mkinst3.test).

I will test this on AIX 6.1, too.

# type mkdir chmod
mkdir is /usr/bin/mkdir
chmod is a tracked alias for /usr/bin/chmod

Yes,
it's the standard AIX ksh.
