Most AIX 4.3.x binaries run on AIX 5.1 and 5.2, though when sharing
binaries amongst a mix of OS revisions within a family, it's best
to build on the oldest one for forward compatibility.  As for
sharing the binaries, I'd just install into an NFS filesystem
and mount that filesystem on all of your machines.  One one
make/make-install process that way.
