Quick update. Uninstalling GNU binutils helped. But I hit a different wall. These are my current environment variables (which work for compiling other software like Apache HTTPD): # export CONFIG_SHELL=/opt/freeware/bin/bash # export CONFIG_ENV_ARGS=/opt/freeware/bin/bash # export CFLAGS="-maix64 -mcpu=power7 -D_LARGE_FILES -pipe -O2 -I/opt/freeware/include" # export CXXFLAGS=$CFLAGS # export RM="/usr/bin/rm -f" # export AR="/usr/bin/ar -X64" # export OBJECT_MODE=64" # export LDFLAGS="-L/opt/freeware/lib64 -L/opt/freeware/lib -maix64 -Wl,-b64 -Wl,-brtl -Wl,-bbigtoc -Wl,-blibpath:/opt/freeware/lib64:/opt/freeware/lib:/usr/lib:/lib" This is my configure line: # /usr/src/gcc-10.2.0/configure --with-isl=/usr/local --disable-multilib --disable-nls --enable-languages=c,c++ --enable-decimal-float=dpd --with-cloog=no --with-ppl=no --disable-libstdcxx-pch --enable-__cxa_atexit --disable-werror --enable-bootstrap And this is the end of make where it dies: [ -f stage_final ] || echo stage3 > stage_final make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/gcc-build' make[2]: Entering directory '/usr/src/gcc-build' make[3]: Entering directory '/usr/src/gcc-build' rm -f stage_current make[3]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/gcc-build' make[2]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/gcc-build' make[2]: Entering directory '/usr/src/gcc-build' Configuring stage 1 in ./intl configure: loading cache ./config.cache checking for powerpc-ibm-aix7.2.4.0-gcc... gcc checking whether the C compiler works... no configure: error: in `/usr/src/gcc-build/intl': configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details make[2]: *** [Makefile:6461: configure-stage1-intl] Error 77 make[2]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/gcc-build' make[1]: *** [Makefile:20799: stage1-bubble] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/gcc-build' make: *** [Makefile:1002: all] Error 2 bash-5.0# Still looking for help from anyone brave enough to venture in this hole. I just really want to figure out why compiling GCC 64-bit for AIX is so difficult. Thanks!
