           Summary: Invalid AIX linker flag '-bnoerok', it has to be
                    '-bernotok'
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.6.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: target
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: michael.haubenwallner@salomon.at


The AIX linker does not understand '-bnoerok', but '-bernotok'.
While there have been more occurences in older releases, there is still one in
current trunk:

libjava/classpath/ltcf-cxx.sh:        no_undefined_flag=' ${wl}-bnoerok'

This has to be "-bernotok".

Does this actually hit you any time?  If yes, please post configure command
line, and cut and paste error and command(s) that caused it, and whether the
obvious fix lets the build succeed where it did not before.  Thanks.

The ltcf* and ltconfig stuff is so old and outdated, I didn't think it was used
anywhere in the tree any more.

It did hit me in gcc-4.2.4 (languages=c,c++) in Gentoo Prefix on AIX, where I
do have some automagic patches to enable runtime linking by default as well as
full "soname" support (still to be sorted out with libtool upstream).

So I'm unable to hit this problem with vanilla gcc-4.2.4, even not with
LDFLAGS=-Wl,-brtl for unknown reason.
For gcc-trunk, I've just searched the sources for 'bnoerok' and still found it,
although I'm unsure if this would hit me whenever I start using gcc-java.

If this code is old and unused, I'm fine with its removal during normal
development.

dje, you marked this PR as NEW.  Why?  Michael didn't confirm it with pristine
GCC.  If you can reproduce it yourself, please reread and follow comment #1. 
Thanks.

Please reconfirm with a recent GCC, or close if it has been fixed.

The problem still exists, but classpath is maintained upstream, not by GCC.

This bug really should have been opened for the "classpath" Product in
Bugzilla, not for "gcc".  I do not think the bug can be transferred.  The
command definitely is wrong for AIX, but I don't think the option ever will be
used when building classpath.

If this can't be reassigned, can we just close it as "not ours"?

Checking out the GNU classpath project from savannah (CVS HEAD), there is
neither "-bnoerok" nor "-bernotok" nor "-berok" inside any file, nor a file
ltcf-cxx.sh at all, so where does it come from (it's still in gcc-4.7
snapshots)?

Or what/where/who is "classpath upstream"?

Has GCC/GCJ imported a recent version of classpath?  The "bug" may be that the
classpath package is not up to date in libjava.  In fact, the file may not be
used at all and solely a remnant that was not removed in a previous update.
