  GCC host triplet: ia64-hp-hpux11.22

When building GCC C and C++ with HP C A.05.50, the "make bootstrap" fails with:

error: error: invalid invalid switch '-x'
switch '-x'

I used no "configure" options and I have no version of GCC installed.

Can you run this in the objdir/gcc and add the -v option to the end of the command?

Are you using GNU binutils, if not that is your problem.
>From <http://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html#ia64-*-hpux*>:
Building GCC on this target requires the GNU Assembler. The bundled HP assembler will not work. 
To prevent GCC from using the wrong assembler, the option --with-gnu-as may be necessary.     

The GCC libunwind library has not been ported to HPUX. This means that for GCC versions 3.2.3 
and earlier, --enable-libunwind-exceptions is required to build GCC. For GCC 3.3 and later, this is 
the default.

The configure script ought not allow building GCC if the assembler is no 
good.  It should stop with an error stating the requirement for GNU as.

I've asked the list, and we'll see what they say. It may be too difficult to
make such a check, but if not, this certainly seems like a good idea to me.

Yes, as far as I know GAS is required.  I have no idea how hard it would be to
check for this.
