Hi all,

If I migrate from AIX 4.3.3 to AIX 5L, do I need to re-install all the
Gnu tools and other tools I have installed in the system.

Please suggest me.

And is there any tool which I can run in the system to check the
compatibility of the hardware & Software.

Best Regards
Siva

Many tools will still work, some won't, some work partially.

Dev tools depending on the header files below /usr/include are more
likely broken. The executables work, but if they generate a working
config, Makefile... you may doubt.
AIX 5L comes with a complete GNU development environment, which is
sufficiant to bootstrap more recent versions.

Let's say: binary only tools, like GNU make, bison, bzip2, md5sum will
still work without any trouble.
