gcc build problem under AIX 4.3.1

["Christoph Trojan" <christoph dot trojan at inform-ac dot com>]

Hi,

I've got problems with a build of gcc 2.96 under AIX 4.3.1.
(under Linux I had no problems). I've configured with the only flag --
prefix=/usr/local/gcc. "make bootstrap" runs a while and terminates 
with an error. It seems to depend on the AIX ar :

ar: Not a recognized flag: X
_df_to_usi
ar: Not a recognized flag: X
for file in ../../gcc/frame.c  cplib2.txt   ; do \
  name=`echo ${file} | sed -e 's/[.][cSo]$//' -e 's/[.]asm$//' -e 
's/[.]txt$//'`; \
  oname=` echo ${name} | sed -e 's,.*/,,'`; \
  if [ ${name}.txt = ${file} ]; then \
    for f in .. `cat ${file}`; do if [ x${f} != x.. ]; then \
      make GCC_FOR_TARGET="./xgcc -B/usr/local/gcc/powerpc-

But my ar knows this flag :
/usr/bin/ar -X
Usage:  ar [-X{32|64|32_64}] [-clsvCT] [-g|o] {-h|p|t|x} [--] Archive 
[File ...]
        ar [-X{32|64|32_64}] [-clsvCT] [-g|o] {-m|r[u]}
                [{-a|b|i} {PositionName}] [--] Archive File ...
        ar [-X{32|64|32_64}] [-clsvCT] [-g|o] {-d|q} [--] Archive File ...
        ar [-X{32|64|32_64}] [-clvCT] {-g|o|s|w} [--] Archive

I've made shure that only the AIX ar, nm was on the machine during 
my build. If I omit this flag things go wrong during the compare of 
the object files of stage1 and stage2, they differ.

Does anybody know what's going on here ?

Thanks
