Problems with building GCC-3.0 on AIX-4.3

hi all,

I am having problems with installing gcc-3.0 on AIX-4.3

I read that gmake was required to bootstrap gcc-3.0, so I tried
building that using xlcv4 but it failed. The error was something about
not being able to convert between int and char*. Since I did not have 
any GNU product installed, I did a binary installation of egcs-1.1.1.1
(This was the only one that I could find). I built gmake 3.79 and binutils
2.11.2 using this compiler. While building ld it gave a warning saying that 
GNU ld does not support shared libraries correctly on AIX and so libtool was
turning 
this feature off. 

I built gcc-3.0 using the same egcs compiler. The options given to configure
were
--enable-shared --enable-multilib --enable-threads=posix
--with-fast-fixincludes --enable-languages=c++ --disable-aix64

The compilation went off smoothly but while doing a make install. it aborted
saying it could not find
libgcc_s_ppc64.a and libgcc_s_pthread_ppc64.a . I circumvented this by
creating blank files by those names
to complete the install. This time the installation finished smoothly but
when I try to compile a simple hello world 
program 
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main () {
   cout << "Hello, World";
   return 0;
   }

using gcc sam.cpp it gives the following linker errors

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

If however I compile the same program using g++ it creates an executable
which gives a segmentation fault and dumps core when executed.

Any ideas where I went wrong??
