error: invalid switch '-x'
This appears to be an error from the HP-UX assembler. It would be
helpful if the HP-UX assembler identified itself when reporting a
problem to make this more obvious. Using the gcc -v option should make
this more obvious.
The assembler -x option is used by gas to turn on dependency violation
checking. This is also the same option used by the Intel assembler. I
have never had access to HP-UX for IA-64, so I don't know HP-UX
assembler conventions.
It appears that the HP-UX IA-64 gcc port assumes that you have installed
the GNU binutils package first. So I would suggest doing that and then
retrying the gcc build. Alternatively, you could try removing the -x
option from gcc/config/ia64/sysv4.h ASM_SPEC, but I think this is
unlikely to work. I doubt that anyone has ever tried to make gcc output
work with the HP-UX assembler.
