I am trying to build C and C++ compilers on an IBM box running aix 5.2. I downloaded the gcc-3.3.4 and binutils binaries from UCLA to run my bootstrap build. I ran configure --enable-threads=aix --enable-languages=c,c++ from my objdir. I then ran make bootstrap-lean. After all of this runs for about a day and a half and then it fails with: checking for C compiler default output... a.out checking whether the C compiler works... configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs. If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'. See `config.log' for more details. make[1]: *** [configure-target-libstdc++-v3] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/webapps/gnu' make: *** [bootstrap-lean] Error 2 I noticed that in the objdir there is a directory named gcc with my g++ compiler, but there is no gcc compiler in this directory, nor anywhere else under the objdir. I am also not sure which config.log I should be looking for, there seems to be more than one. Also I am not trying to cross compile (I don't think I am at least). I am trying to build this compiler, so I can compile sleepycats db on aix 5.2. I may never use it again after this. Is there an easier way? Thanks, Louis M. Burroughs III, OCTO
