G++ probably is performing an optimization because the terminate function will not return, so I suspect the error message can be ignored. GCC does not always generate completely conformant AIX assembly code and the AIX assembler does not always follow the rule to be liberal in what it accepts. The biggest problem is that AIX users of GCC ask questions here and on other forums, but do not communicate to IBM AIX Brand executives that the GNU Toolchain on AIX is important. The fact that GCC continues to function at all on AIX seem to place it in the "out of sight, out of mind" category. If you are a developer or ISV or your company uses GCC on AIX, tell your IBM sales representative or executive contact that it is important to your business. - David
