[Bug other/16953] New: failure to build gcc-3.4.1 on IBM-AIX

[dmitry at sdsc dot edu]

I am trying to build gcc v. 3.4.1 on IBM (AIX) platform. 
If I use gcc version 2.9-aix51-020209 to build with, I get the following
error:

gmake[1]: Entering directory `/dsgpfs2/dmitry/gcc-build/gcc'

If I use the native compiler (xlc_r) I get the following error:


xlc_r -c -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -q64 -O5 -qnoipa -qarch=pwr4 -qtune=pwr4 -qcache=auto
-qmaxmem=-1 -I. -I../../gcc-3.4.1/libiberty/../include

gmake[1]: *** [objalloc.o] Error 1
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/dsgpfs2/dmitry/gcc-build/libiberty'

Thanks for looking into this.

Did you read <http://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html>?

But basically use --disable-nls because the xlc does not support the intl needed.

Also:

Errors involving alloca when building GCC generally are due to an incorrect definition of CC in the 
Makefile or mixing files compiled with the native C compiler and GCC. During the stage1 phase of the 
build, the native AIX compiler must be invoked as cc (not xlc). Once configure has been informed of 
xlc, one needs to use make distclean to remove the configure cache files and ensure that CC 
environment variable does not provide a definition that will confuse configure. If this error occurs 
during stage2 or later, then the problem most likely is the version of Make (see above).

I now have a different error when compiling with gcc (v 2.9)

gcc   -g -O2 -DIN_GCC     -DHAVE_CONFIG_H    -I. -I.
-I/gpfs/dmitry/gcc-3.4.1/gcc -I/gpfs/dmitry/gcc-3.4.1/gcc/.

-DTARGET_MACHINE=\"powerpc-ibm-aix5.2.0.0\" \
-c /gpfs/dmitry/gcc-3.4.1/gcc/collect2.c -o collect2.o
/gpfs/dmitry/gcc-3.4.1/gcc/collect2.c:2645: conflicting types for `ldgetname'
/usr/include/ldfcn.h:193: previous declaration of `ldgetname'
gmake[1]: *** [collect2.o] Error 1

Please explain what is meant by "incorrect definition of CC in the 
Makefile or mixing files compiled with the native C compiler and GCC".
I am not changing anything at all from the original source. I am 
just typing configure and then gmake in the build directory. 
I am using gmake 3.79.1 as recommended. Thanks for clarification.

You mentioned an "inline" error from xlc.  This is a configure/make 
error.  You must use the same compiler with configure as you use with 
make.  This is OK
   CC=xlc configure; make
this is not
   configure; make CC=xlc
If you want to change compilers, you need to reconfigure.

Not a bug by comment #3.  You need to first set CC to cc (as mentioned in the web page) and then 
configure and bootstrap and install and it will work.
