Building gcc on AIX 5.3 TL08
I just discovered that the build sequence for gcc on AIX version 5.3, what is called "TL08" fails. The first symptom is options.h has double defines in it. e.g. redeclaration of enumerator 'OPT_d' But even after that is fixed by hand, there are other issues. Switching from AIX's awk or nawk to GNU's awk (gawk) solves the issues. I first tried building gcc 4.0.2 and then tried gcc 4.2.0. Both had the same issues. I know that I have built gcc (using gcc) on AIX 5.3 before but it must have been an older level of AIX. Perry Ease Software, Inc.
