I am trying to bootstrap gcc-3.0.2 on an IBM AIX machine.
'make bootstrap' creates the compiler just fine, but then,
when it starts to configure the libstdc++, it gets into an
infinite loop: it starts checking the same things over and
over again, and never stops.
The configure command was:
./gcc-3.0.2/configure --prefix=/mydirectory
--enable-threads=posix --enable-languages=c++
--with-as=/mydirectory/bin/as --with-gnu-as --disable-nls
(the last flag only because I suspected it might be
connected, but it loops without it as well)
I am compiling with GNU make, and the assembler is from
binutils 2.11.
BTW, at some stage I thought it is because there is almost
no space in /tmp. I therefore made my own tmp directory
elsewhere and pointed to it with the TMPDIR environment
variable. Again, it didn't help. Maybe some tools ignore
that variable, and fail silently.
Any ideas or tips?
