Building gcc 3.4.3 on AIX 5.2 hangs

[Colm McHugh]

Hi,

I have been unable to build gcc 3.4.3 on AIX 5.2; on each attempt, when 
it gets to compiling a particular file, it hangs:

/export/work/gcc-3.4.3/objdir/gcc/xgcc -shared-libgcc 
-B/export/work/gcc-3.4.3/objdir/gcc/ -nostdinc++ 
-L/export/work/gcc-3.4.3/objdir/powerpc-ibm-aix5.2.0.0/pthread/libstdc++-v3/src 
-L/export/work/gcc-3.4.3/objdir/powerpc-ibm-aix5.2.0.0/pthread/libstdc++-v3/src/.libs 
-B/usr/local/powerpc-ibm-aix5.2.0.0/bin/

-Wno-deprecated -c 
../../../../../gcc-3.4.3/libstdc++-v3/src/strstream.cc   -DPIC -o 
.libs/strstream.o

(note: /export/work is where I put the source).

This is my environment and configuration:

make version: GNU make 3.80
gcc version for the build:   tried with both 2.9-aix51-020209 and 3.3.3
config shell:   /usr/bin/bash
platform:   powerpc-ibm-aix5.2.0.0
OS:   AIX 5.2
configure arguments:  --enable-languages=c,c++ --enable-threads=aix 
--disable-nls
make arguments:   tried both bootstrap and -j 2 bootstrap  (it's a dual 
processor box)


I copied the config from http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2004-10/msg00724.html 
which details a successful build.

Anyone experienced anything like this ?
