Re: Compileing egcs-1.1b under AIX 4.1.5 fails

[Matthias Mueller <matthias at ica1 dot uni-stuttgart dot de>]

Are you sure you made a "make bootstrap"? It should set the required 
bigtoc flag for the linker. It may also be necessary to apply the
following PTF:
        I have just discovered that an update to the AIX linker was
released in mid-March specifically to address the failure encountered by
GCC when using -bbigtoc linker option.  I tested it this morning and it
solves the failure on an AIX 4.1.5 system that I was able to use.
 
        The update is PTF U455193 for APAR IX75823 available from
service.boulder.ibm.com. 

I just installed egcs 1.1 on AIX 4.1.5 and it worked perfectly.
