Hi, I'm trying to build Apache 2.2.22 on AIX 6.1 PPC 64 bit with gcc 4.4.6. The configure line looks like this: LDFLAGS="-maix64" LD=gcc AR="ar -X 64" CFLAGS="-maix64" ./configure --prefix=/home/labuser/apache/httpd-22-x64 --enable-mods-shared=all --enable-cache --enable-mem-cache --enable-headers --enable-proxy --enable-proxy-http --enable-http --enable-cgi --enable-rewrite --enable-deflate --with-included-apr When linking APR, ar complains about an invalid object file format: /bin/sh /home/labuser/apache/src/httpd-2.2.22-x64/srclib/apr/libtool --silent --mode=link gcc -pthread -maix64 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -U__STR__ -D_THREAD_SAFE -I./include -I/home/labuser/apache/src/httpd-2.2.22-x64/srclib/apr/include/arch/unix -I./include/arch/unix -I/home/labuser/apache/src/httpd-2.2.22-x64/srclib/apr/include/arch/unix -I/home/labuser/apache/src/httpd-2.2.22-x64/srclib/apr/include -version-info 4:5:4 -Wl,-brtl -maix64 -o libapr-1.la -rpath /home/labuser/apache/httpd-22-x64/lib passwd/apr_getpass.lo strings/apr_cpystrn.lo strings/apr_fnmatch.lo strings/apr_snprintf.lo strings/apr_strings.lo strings/apr_strnatcmp.lo strings/apr_strtok.lo tables/apr_hash.lo tables/apr_tables.lo atomic/unix/builtins.lo atomic/unix/ia32.lo atomic/unix/mutex.lo atomic/unix/ppc.lo atomic/unix/s390.lo atomic/unix/solaris.lo dso/unix/dso.lo file_io/unix/buffer.lo file_io/unix/copy.lo file_io/unix/dir.lo file_io/unix/fileacc.lo file_io/unix/filedup.lo file_io/unix/filepath.lo file_io/unix/filepath_util.lo file_io/unix/filestat.lo file_io/unix/flock.lo file_io/unix/fullrw.lo file_io/unix/mktemp.lo file_io/unix/open.lo file_io/unix/pipe.lo file_io/unix/readwrite.lo file_io/unix/seek.lo file_io/unix/tempdir.lo locks/unix/global_mutex.lo locks/unix/proc_mutex.lo locks/unix/thread_cond.lo locks/unix/thread_mutex.lo locks/unix/thread_rwlock.lo memory/unix/apr_pools.lo misc/unix/charset.lo misc/unix/env.lo misc/unix/errorcodes.lo misc/unix/getopt.lo misc/unix/otherchild.lo misc/unix/rand.lo misc/unix/start.lo misc/unix/version.lo mmap/unix/common.lo mmap/unix/mmap.lo network_io/unix/inet_ntop.lo network_io/unix/inet_pton.lo network_io/unix/multicast.lo network_io/unix/sendrecv.lo network_io/unix/sockaddr.lo network_io/unix/socket_util.lo network_io/unix/sockets.lo network_io/unix/sockopt.lo poll/unix/epoll.lo poll/unix/kqueue.lo poll/unix/poll.lo poll/unix/pollcb.lo poll/unix/pollset.lo poll/unix/port.lo poll/unix/select.lo random/unix/apr_random.lo random/unix/sha2.lo random/unix/sha2_glue.lo shmem/unix/shm.lo support/unix/waitio.lo threadproc/unix/proc.lo threadproc/unix/procsup.lo threadproc/unix/signals.lo threadproc/unix/thread.lo threadproc/unix/threadpriv.lo time/unix/time.lo time/unix/timestr.lo user/unix/groupinfo.lo user/unix/userinfo.lo -lpthread 0654-210 passwd/.libs/apr_getpass.o is not valid in the current object file mode.

Note that the build does not stop here. When linking APR-util there are some linker errors concerning the location of libodbc.so: the build searches in /opt/freeware/lib instead of /opt/freeware/lib64. I simply changed that in the Makefile but when linking the thing together similar errors occur like for APR: 0654-210 buckets/.libs/apr_brigade.o is not valid in the current object file mode. Use the -X option to specify the desired object mode. 0654-210 buckets/.libs/apr_buckets.o is not valid in the current object file mode. Use the -X option to specify the desired object mode. 0654-210 buckets/.libs/apr_buckets_alloc.o is not valid in the current object file mode. Use the -X option to specify the desired object mode. ... And finally, when linking htpasswd there are linker errors of undefined symbols: /home/labuser/apache/src/httpd-2.2.22-x64/srclib/apr/libtool --silent --mode=link gcc -pthread -maix64 -Wl,-brtl -maix64 -o htpasswd htpasswd.lo -Wl,-uXML_Parse -lm /home/labuser/apache/src/httpd-2.2.22-x64/srclib/pcre/libpcre.la /home/labuser/apache/src/httpd-2.2.22-x64/srclib/apr-util/libaprutil-1.la -lexpat /home/labuser/apache/src/httpd-2.2.22-x64/srclib/apr/libapr-1.la -lpthread ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .apr_generate_random_bytes ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .apr_file_printf ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .apr_file_puts ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .apr_strerror ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .apr_file_close ... This seems to be a consequence of ar not putting the objects to the .a file, right? So to me it seems I'm doing something fundamentally wrong. Is there a flag to tell the configure script to use 64 bits instead of 32 bits? I tried using the CFLAGS, LDFLAGS etc. but is that the correct approach? Please let me know if I should post some more information. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
