Hi, I've created cross-gcc (solaris 11 -> aix 4.3), it's installed in /opt/xgcc-aix-4.3.0.0-47jan31. GCC built using sources from svn, revision 183510. I removed references to c++1 from BUILD_DIR/rs6000-ibm-aix4.3/libstdc++-v3/src/Makefile and commented out the following lines in BUILD_DIR/gcc/include/stdint.h: //typedef __INT_FAST8_TYPE__ int_fast8_t; //typedef __INT_FAST16_TYPE__ int_fast16_t; //typedef __UINT_FAST8_TYPE__ uint_fast8_t; //typedef __UINT_FAST16_TYPE__ uint_fast16_t; After these changes, I were able to build the whole thing. Now, gcc works fine, that is I were able to compile few programs with it and they seem to work as expected. But g++ is another story. I have file main.cc: int main() { } Now: alias xg++='/opt/xgcc-aix-4.3.0.0-47jan31/bin/rs6000-ibm-aix4.3-g++' root@sol11x86:~/xtest/c++/main# xg++ main.cc -c root@sol11x86:~/xtest/c++/main# ls main.cc main.o So far so good.

Am I right? Is there anything I can do about it? What information should I provide? Assembler code for pbase_type_info.o, result of objdump -<something> pbase_type_info.o, command used for building it? -- Jędrzej Dudkiewicz I really hate this damn machine, I wish that they would sell it. It never does just what I want, but only what I tell it.
