gcc compilation fails with the following error AIX 5.3

make[3]: *** No rule to make target `all'. Stop.
The "tooldir" part tells the guessed, given or somehow else got $target
name being 'powerpc-ibm-aix'...
But the 'gcc/config.gcc' doesn't know this $target :(  Possible ones
can be '*-*-aix4*' and '*-*-aix5*'
where the first star can be 'rs6000', 'powerpc' or 'ppc'. So that bare
'aix' isn't understood....

Please see what the command :
   ./config.guess
gives in the main GCC source directory. There shouldn't be that bare
'aix' in the answer to the guess!

./config.guess output is as below:


/usr/bin/oslevel[845]: sed:  not found
/usr/bin/oslevel: Broken pipe
powerpc-ibm-aix

But when I execute which sed, the output is

/opt/freeware/bin/sed

and this is gnu sed.

Now that I have some hint, I will check, what could be the reason and let you know again later.

Thanks.

ANANT.

If there is (The system is really stupid in its guesses...), then you
must be wiser and tell the right names,
for instance :
..../configure --build=powerpc-ibm-aix5.3 --host=powerpc-ibm-aix5.3
--target=powerpc-ibm-aix5.3 ....
