I attempted to build 3.4.4 in the same way afterwards, and got exactly the same
error.

How did you configure GCC?

it is using the native toolchain instead.

The "-Aa" option is likely the problem.  It's probably set in
CFLAGS.  If you're using the HP tools, put the "-Aa" in your CC
define.  There's more info in the manual on this.

No, I never put "-Aa" in CFLAGS, it's being added inside the gcc build
itself.  I tried your suggestion of adding "-Aa" to CC, but my build
fails much earlier in that case, due to not finding a definition of
"struct stat".  Do you care to know more about that?

Not intentionally, but only a careful reading of the documentation
reveals to me that PATH is used (non-intuitively in my view) for as
and ld even when --with-gnu-as and --with-gnu-ld are given.

Using GNU as and --with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld does indeed give me the
same error, but forcing GNU ld stops the build even sooner with:
...
checking for g++ that supports -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections... yes
checking for sin in -lm... configure: error: Link tests are not
allowed after GCC_NO_EXECUTABLES.

Ok, this is comming from the configure test "checking for $CC option to
accept ANSI C".  This option shouldn't be used for the libstdc++ build
but obviously it is...

In order to build GCC 3.4 and later, you need an ANSI compiler.  You
also need to include the full HP-UX namespace   The  "struct stat" error
probably is a result of not providing the appropriate namespace defines
in you CC define.  -Aa provides strict ANSI.  For example, these are
the defines that I use for GCC builds prior to 4.0 under HP-UX 11.11:

-D_HPUX_SOURCE -D_XOPEN_UNIX -D_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED
-D_INCLUDE__STDC_A1_SOURCE -D_INCLUDE_XOPEN_SOURCE_500

-D_HPUX_SOURCE is the important define.  The others are needed for C++
library support (wide characters, etc).

Instead of trying to build C++ starting with an HP compiler, it's easier
to just build C and then use this compiler to rebuild GCC with the additional
languages that you want.  It's always been tricky to bootstrap GCC using
an HP compiler and its not tested much.  You should use binutils (current
CVS version is needed with GCC 4.1 and later for EH exception support).

Thanks for your help, it turns out you were almost right the first time.
Although I wasn't setting CFLAGS, I unwittingly had "-Aa" in my CXXFLAGS.
Stopping that solved my problem.

I've mostly always used HP's ANSI compiler in the default -Ae mode,
which includes -D_HPUX_SOURCE, however I discovered it also add +e,
which allows `long long'.  All 3.4 and 4.0 gcc's I tried had `long
long' variables that required this.  I found this odd, given that I
was building 64-bit code.  I'd say this is a bug -- would you agree?

I can appreciate that, and was almost about to resort to C only, but
my C++ is good now.  Is binutils-2.16.1 fine for 4.0?  I'll run the
tests and find out for myself anyway.

Thanks again.
