------- Additional Comments From appfault at hotmail dot com 2005-08-17 00:14 ------- Ok, well that's good to know. I didn't find anything to say that AIX wasn't supported.
I've moved the GNU binutils, rm'd my gcc-4.0.1-build and am now trying make bootstrap again. On the box, these binutils now have the IBM versions available: ld as ar nm ranlib size strings (ld and as were always the IBM versions) On the box, these binutils now are not available at all: addr2line c++filt gprof nlmconv objdump readelf windres [time passes....] I've now recompiled and I no longer get the linker error on my trivial test program. http://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html#x-ibm-aix should probably be amended. It currently says "The GNU Assembler and Linker do not support AIX 5L sufficiently to bootstrap GCC." Sounds like that should change to "The GNU binutils do not support AIX 5L sufficiently to bootstrap GCC." Possibly GNU binutils 'ar' was the culprit? I could go back and re-add them one at a time to see, but that would take days. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23406
