AIX 5.3 GCC 4.2.1 libstdc++ Linker Problems

[ericbambach1 at discover dot com]

Hello,

        Please CC as I'm not subscribed. Hope line breaks are ok, I hate 
Lotus Notes :)

        I'm having a lot of trouble getting gcc 4.2.1 compiled and run on 
AIX 5.3 on the power5 architecture. Even after GCC compiles successfully 
it seems libstdc++.a isn't built correctly.

        We have the IBM binary gcc-4.0.0 compiler installed in 
/opt/freeware/bin so I know its possible to get GCC on here somehow.

        It builds fine but compilation of this simple test program fails 
with g++. gcc SEEMS to function ok but I havent checked it in depth yet. 
Take a look at the session below (edited for readability + mask 
user+hostname only) where it first fails to find libgcc_s even though the 
configure script placed it in /sys/usr/lib just like I asked, Next it cant 
link against libstdc++.a. Once I turn on the verbose output I see that 
libstdc++.a has no symbols being imported! I dont know much about 
compilers but it seems that I need SOME symbols from libstdc++ are needed. 
Last, if I force it to link against IBM's libstdc++.a it works fine. 

        Am I building gcc wrong? I did build it with GNU make and the AIX 
as+ld. I borrowed IBM's config flags from 4.0.0. Any additional info 
needed?
