On AIX 7.2, in 64-bit mode, with the environment variables settings CC="xlc -q64 -qthreaded -qtls"; CXX="xlC -q64 -qthreaded -qtls"; AR="ar -X 64"; NM="nm -X 64 -B"; export CC CXX AR NM
(with which I build many GNU packages successfully), I get 20 test failures:
* 16 failures in category 'features/archives'.
Error message:
/home/haible/make-4.4.0.90/build-64-xlc/tests/../make: invalid option -- X
Usage: make [options] [target] ...
Options:
...
Apparently the value of ${AR} or the value of ${NM} is being decomposed, and
the -X option, meant for the 'ar' or the 'nm' program, is being passed to
'make'.
* 1 failure in category 'features/include'.
The command 'touch -a test.foo' is being printed twice, not just once.
This could be a bug in the AIX exec* functions, which don't properly
separate the stdout and stderr of the parent process and child process
in some situations. (I had seen this many years ago, in AIX 4 or AIX 5.)
* 3 failures in category 'features/output-sync'.
Error message is "timeout after 10 seconds".
Find attached the logs.
