Hi,
the file config.guess suggests I send a ChangeLog entry and a patch, however, I
don't know how to do that. Anyway, I've discovered this small bug in the latest
(and some older versions as well) of config.guess:
Starting at line 554:
*:AIX:*:[4567])
IBM_CPU_ID=`/usr/sbin/lsdev -C -c processor -S available | sed 1q | awk '{
print $1 }'`
if /usr/sbin/lsattr -El ${IBM_CPU_ID} | grep ' POWER' >/dev/null 2>&1; then
IBM_ARCH=rs6000
else
IBM_ARCH=powerpc
fi
if [ -x /usr/bin/oslevel ] ; then
IBM_REV=`/usr/bin/oslevel`
else
IBM_REV=${UNAME_VERSION}.${UNAME_RELEASE}
fi
echo ${IBM_ARCH}-ibm-aix${IBM_REV}
exit ;;
the " grep ' POWER' " will always fail. Here is the output from lsattr El proc0
[which is usually the first processor it finds]
FROM AIX 7.1 on Power7:
frequency 3108000000 Processor Speed False
smt_enabled true Processor SMT enabled False
smt_threads 4 Processor SMT threads False
state enable Processor state False
type PowerPC_POWER7 Processor type False
FROM AIX 6.1 on Power6:
$ lsattr -El proc0
frequency 4204000000 Processor Speed False
smt_enabled true Processor SMT enabled False
smt_threads 2 Processor SMT threads False
state enable Processor state False
type PowerPC_POWER6 Processor type False
the grep will always fail to find a '<space>POWER' string, resulting in an
inappropriate architecture.
So, since I don't know how to send these changes, perhaps I can offer to be a
keyboard on an AIX system. I can send any output that is needed to help out.
Thanks,
Josh
