Building with AIX gcc 3.3

[Ken Foskey <foskey at optushome dot com dot au>]

 Code is tested and builds on Linux gcc 3.3.  I am trying to build icu
 2.2 on AIX for OpenOffice.org port using gcc 3.3 and the standard ld
 tool and I am getting:
 
 ld: 0711-345 Use the -bloadmap or -bnoquiet option to obtain more
 information.
 ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: non-virtual thunk [nv:-4] to
 icu_2_2::UnicodeFilter::matches(icu_2_2::Replaceable const&, int&, int,
 signed char)
 ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: non-virtual thunk [nv:-4] to
 icu_2_2::UnicodeFilter::toPattern(icu_2_2::UnicodeString&, signed char)
 const
 ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: non-virtual thunk [nv:-4] to
 icu_2_2::UnicodeFilter::matchesIndexValue(unsigned char) const
 ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: non-virtual thunk [nv:-4] to
 icu_2_2::UnicodeFilter::addMatchSetTo(icu_2_2::UnicodeSet&) const
 collect2: ld returned 8 exit status

the nm command (default aix) cannot deal with these files at all.  So I
cannot really analyse this further.

 
 The looks like bug 4122 but I can compile 4122 code fine.  my link line
 is:
 /usr/local/gcc3.3/bin/g++ -O   -Wl,-brtl -shared -Wl,-bexpall  -o
 libicui18n22.0.so ucln_in.o ... ucurr.o -L../common -licuuc22
 -L../data/out -L../stubdata -licudata22 -lpthread -lm

I tried compiling the binutils from tarball and installing it but it
makes matters worse.

link is failing with lot of these messages:

BFD: libicuuc.a(upropset.o): Unrecognized storage class 111 for .data
symbol `_ZTVN7icu_2_211ReplaceableE'

then:

/usr/local/bin/ld: resbund.o: reloc .data:0 not in csect resbund.o:
could not read symbols: Bad value
aix_b50: /ooo/beta11/icu
$ ld --version
GNU ld version 2.14 20030612


Compiles on this box take forever and this really is way beyond my
knowledge level. I am a humble programmer...

Any suggestions on what to try next?
