I had lots of difficulty building 4.2.2 on AIX 5.2. Problem turned out to be binutils. I found that I had to delete binutils altogether. It was not sufficient to use the make options to specify the native versions of ld and as because the stage 3 build process would drill down through the installed tools and will find and use the Gnu versions. The result was a compiler which would not link anything which used STL (libstdc++.a) I got rid of binutils, did a full bootstrap, and everything worked. And without binutils you don't need the options for ld and as at all. Hope this helps. I was stuck on this for weeks. (For what it is worth the compiler could build itself so it wasn't necessary to go back to 4.0.0 to do the bootstrap.) -----Original Message----- From: gcc-help-owner@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:gcc-help-owner@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ben Scurr Sent: 14 February, 2008 07:43 To: gcc-help@xxxxxxxxxxx Subject: AIX 5.3 gcc 4.1.2 bootstrap error I was wondering if anyone could help me as I'm at my wits end regarding building gcc on AIX.
