Re: Problem compiling gcc 4.2.1 on AIX 5.3

Anant,

How did you configure gcc?

I recently built version gcc 4.2.2 on aix 5.2 with the following configure


../gcc-4.2.2/configure   --enable-version-specific-runtime-libs 
--enable-static --enable-shared --enable-threads --prefix=/opt/gcc-4.2.2 
--without-gnu-ld --disable-nls --with-pic --disable-symvers 
--enable-symvers=no --enable-languages=c,c++,objc

then built with:
make CFLAGS='-O' LIBCFLAGS='-g -O2' LIBCXXFLAGS='-g -O2 
-fno-implicit-templates' bootstrap

You may also consider to set environment variable CONFIG_SHELL to the 
full path of bash like
CONFIG_SHELL=/usr/local/bin/bash
At least when building on hp, it also proved to be useful to set CC to 
the full path of the bootstrap compiler like
CC=/opt/gcc-3.2.1/bin/gcc

Hope that gets you going. You also should use a gnu tar version higher 
than 1.13 to untar the sources and gnu make, of course.
I used version 3.79.1.
