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.
