egcs on AIX 4.3

[Michael Meissner]

| I successfully installed egcs-1.0.2 on an RS6000 system at AIX
| 4.3.
|
| I compiled ddd-2.2.3 and, when it got to the link command, I got
| this message:
| ld: 0711-781 ERROR: TOC overflow. TOC size: 83880	Maximum size:
| 65536
| collect2: ld returned 12 exit status
|
| Does anyone know how to fix this?

Try any of the following:

	-Wl,-bigtoc
	-mno-fp-in-toc
	-mno-sum-in-toc
	-mminimal-toc

| I have tried to compile egcs with gnu ld but I cannot get this to
| work.  The build fails the first time it tries to link using GNU
| ld.  No error message, it just doesn't output an executable file.
|
| Does anyone have any ideas on this problem?

Yes.  IBM changed the object file format for AIX 4.3 and GNU ld currently does
not understand it.
