greetings. ive followed http://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html#x-ibm-aix this when building gcc on aix. im able to bootstrap 3.4.3 fine on aix 5.1 (ml-07). configured with: # gcc -v Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc/powerpc-ibm-aix5.1.0.0/3.4.3/specs Configured with: ../gcc-3.4.3/configure --enable-languages=c,c++ --enable-threads=aix Thread model: aix gcc version 3.4.3 built with vac 6, also tried with gcc 3.3.2 the problem is that even though the patches refed by the doc above have been applied, i am still seeing behavior as if the patches havent been installed. # instfix -vik IY25528 IY25528 Abstract: Assembler .bb/.eb pseudo-ops get bad section numbers Fileset bos.adt.base:5.1.0.25 is applied on the system. All filesets for IY25528 were found. # instfix -vik IY54774 IY54774 Abstract: ar fails archiving assembler object Fileset bos.adt.base:5.1.0.55 is applied on the system. Fileset bos.rte.bind_cmds:5.1.0.55 is applied on the system. All filesets for IY54774 were found. libstdc++ exports no symbols, a dump -Tv on libstdc++.so.6 shows no symbols exported. the .exp files created during the bootstrap is empty. outside of linking shared object with libstdc++, 3.4.3 seems to work fine. static linking of libstdc++ works fine of course... any one have any ideas?
