Thanks, I found out earlier that we have ML02 installed. But you need APAR IY53606 installed to get past the assembler loop issue. That APAR is included with ML05. I have the APAR applied now and I am recompling it now so I will see how it goes. Thanks for your offer though. -----Original Message----- From: Eli Ben-Shoshan [mailto:linkages@xxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, March 22, 2005 2:28 PM To: Wheeler, Richard Cc: gcc-help@xxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Bootstrapping GCC 3.4.3 on AIX 5.2 Richard, I don't think so. I was able to compile gcc 3.4.3 on AIX 5.2 ML05 in less than 6 hours. The machine is a p615 with 2 power4 1.5Ghz cpus and 4Gb of ram. Here is the output of "gcc -v" -bash-2.05b$ gcc -v Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc/powerpc-ibm-aix5.2.0.0/3.4.3/specs Configured with: ../gcc-3.4.3/configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-threads=aix --enable-languages=c,c++ --disable-nls Thread model: aix gcc version 3.4.3 I found that I must have ML05 installed to get this to compile. If you wish I can make a source and binary RPM available.
