Yes, currently we have build machines for these two only.
There are proposals to upgrade them to run AIX 5.1 and 5.3,
respectively, but this issue has not yet been decided.
Also, the machine running 4.3 may not be able to generate 64 bit binaries.

"To be expected": AIX provides upward compatibility only, but not
downward. The C library contains version information to check this.
You can run binaries generated on AIX 4.3 on 5.1, and this should work
without problems.
(I did not specifically check the differences between these two, but I
did not get any info this causes problems. If an interface changes, IBM
typically provides "compatibility packages" providing the old interface
on the new OS.)

Currently, we can not provide it.
