[Bug objc/29412] New: gnustep-base build fails with gcc 3.4.x on HP-UX 11.23 (both ia64 and pa)

Tue Oct 10 10:47:00 GMT 2006

Recently I upgraded gcc from 3.3.2(really outdated!) to 3.4.6 on HPUX 11.23
June 2006 update. This build on both ia64 and pa-risc machines. 

This gcc is built on HPUX 11.23 by using the native ANSI C compiler.
# what /opt/ansic/bin/cc
/opt/ansic/bin/cc:
        HP aC++/C for Integrity Servers B3910B A.06.10 [Mar 22 2006]

The configure options for gcc are
#env PATH=$/usr/local/bin:/opt/OCEK/bin:$PATH CC="/opt/ansic/bin/cc"
../configure --prefix=/opt/OCEK --with-gnu-as --with-as=/opt/OCEK/bin/as
--without-gnu-ld --enable-shared=yes --enable-static=yes --enable-threads=posix
--enable-languages=c,c++,objc --enable-libstdcxx-v3
--enable-version-specific-runtime-libs

#gmake bootstrap
#gmake install

The compilation is successful and the gcc binaries are available to me on both 
pa and ia64.

But when I try to compile gnustep(versions 1.6.0/1.12.0/1.13.0)with this gcc it
fails. 
The log is available below 
On PA-risc

The same build is successful on HPUX 11.11.
The build goes through with gcc 3.3.x line on 11.23 both pa and ipf. 

I am not sure if this is incompatible on gcc side or gnustep. Kindly help.
