I do not know if Mark checked in any more of his patches.
The current, public gas+binutils does not support 64-bit AIX. On
the other hand, AIX assembler cannot handle some of the large symbols
generated by GCC.
Gas distributed in the new AIX Linux Affinity package (available
for public) download), should work. I have been using gas just for ios.cc
and string-inst.cc which fail, not all files. I believe that Mark used a
recent gdb+binutils public CVS version of gas for everything.
I do not think that it would be useful to debug the library itself
or the dynamic linking which is working when all of the pieces are in
place. One thing that you could look into is why libstdc++-v3 configure
is not choosing threads-posix.h when building the pthreads multilibs on
AIX. This broke again when configure was split into configure.host and
configure.target. The "CC" test should choose between threads-no.h and
threads-posix.h, but it currently is choosing threads-no.h for all
instances.
Thanks, David
