------- Comment #6 from kstemen at centeris dot com 2007-03-20 22:19 ------- That says you can't bootstrap GCC on AIX 5L with GNU ld and as. It doesn't say you can't build a cross compiler with them, and it doesn't say you can't use them after GCC is bootstrapped.
In fact, I have looked at collect2's source code and using GNU ld and as would probably work on native AIX after GCC is bootstrapped. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31033
