Thanks. Following your suggestion, I was able to build gcc-4.0.0 RC2 on powerpc-ibm-aix5.2.0.0. My original limits were % limit cputime unlimited filesize 1048575 kbytes datasize 131072 kbytes stacksize 32768 kbytes coredumpsize 1048575 kbytes memoryuse 32768 kbytes % I then did % unlimit datasize % unlimit stacksize (not sure both are necessary) and my new limits were % limit cputime unlimited filesize 1048575 kbytes datasize unlimited stacksize 4194304 kbytes coredumpsize 1048575 kbytes memoryuse 32768 kbytes % With these limits, I was able to build gcc-4.0.0 RC2 on powerpc-ibm-aix5.2.0.0. I still do not know what AIX 5.1 and AIX 5.2 PTFs David Edelsohn was referring to ... or where they are referenced. But evidently increasing the data limit was sufficient.
