--- Comment #14 from Michael Felt <aixtools at gmail dot com> ---
Please accept my apologies for replying here, the gcc-help is not a high
traffic list today :) and I removed myself from the gcc-bugs list.
I checked out the BULL and Perlz sites (I am slowly building one of my own, no
advertisement here) and there are two concerns:
For AIX 5.3 (TL7) - which is the base level I am trying to build from (not
concerned with AIX 5.3 TL6 and earlier - need to draw a line somewhere) I am
packaging tools in /opt/{bin,sbin,lib,include} and /opt/aixtools/{...}.
The reasoning is simple: in /opt/freeware IBM, BULL and perlz put their
software. And, if I understand perlz correctly I continue having dependencies
in files
placed there - packaged as RPM. I am not packaging as RPM and do not want to
have
to worry if something I build overwrites an IBM file and vice versa.
So, I am back at my original reason for not wanting to even use these compilers
as a baseline: they set dependencies to where things go. If Michael Perlz could
not change that, I have no illusion that I will succeed there suddenly.
Generally speaking the perlz distribution is fairly recent, BULL is oldish.
