Hi Andrew Did as you have adviced. Had to change config.in in gcc/libiberty. In config.in #ifndef __cplusplus #define inline __inline #endif Changed that to #ifdef __cplusplus #define inline __inline #endif After this change it compiled fine. However, I have not yet investigated the implications of this change overall. Thanks much.

Well, you know, if I were there I would have actually looked inside ./config.h" to see what xlc was complaining about. It might be interesting. You could try that. And if you find out that inline is being incorrectly redefined, you could fix it. Andrew.
