I've built and installed binutils-2.15 (linux host - aix target) followed by gcc-3.4.3. I received no errors during compilation of either package however, when I try to compile an executable using this tool chain, I get numerous errors. If I use the -c flag to compile the object, works fine. Is this a link issue? I copied all libs and headers from the target to my --prefix dir (/usr/local/cross-tools/powerpc-ibm-aix4.2.1.0). I've read a number of threads where people complained of missing files due to links. I created tars of both directories using the -h flag to remedy this problem.
$ /usr/local/cross-tools/powerpc-ibm-aix4.2.1.0/bin/gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/local/cross-tools/lib/gcc/powerpc-ibm-aix4.2.1.0/3.4.3/specs

void main(void) {}Works:
$ /usr/local/cross-tools/powerpc-ibm-aix4.2.1.0/bin/gcc -Wall -c a.c a.c:1: warning: return type of 'main' is not `int'
Fails:
$ /usr/local/cross-tools/powerpc-ibm-aix4.2.1.0/bin/gcc -Wall a.c
See http://www.sdudley.com/errors.txt
Is this doable and if so, what am I missing? I've built other cross tool chains in the past - none of which with the problems I've experienced trying to do so with AIX.
Many thanks.
