Do you build cross binutils before gcc? Check them carefully. Before build in shell use "export LDFLAGS+= -v " for verbose output. -- Sent from Outlook Email App for Android аўторак, 14 чэрвеня 2022, 07:28PM +03:00 from Paul Lucas via Gcc-help gcc-help@xxxxxxxxxxx : >Hi there - > >I want to build a cross-compiler from Linux x86_64 (host) to AIX PowerPC (target).
