AIX 5.3 gcc 4.1.2 bootstrap error

AIX 5.3 gcc 4.1.2 bootstrap error

[Ben Scurr]

I was wondering if anyone could help me as I'm at my wits end regarding 
building gcc on AIX. I have the toolkit version of gcc 4.0.0 installed 
(and associated binutils) and I am trying to build version 4.1.2 
(preferable 4.2.x, but I have other build issues on that version). My 
configuration is as follows:

# oslevel -r

# gcc -v
Using built-in specs.

I have tried bootstrapping 4.1.2, 4.1.1 and even 4.0.1, all of which 
have recorded successful builds on the gcc website on AIX, yet all of 
them fail in the same way on my machine. Can anyone help please?

Ben

I do not know whether it has to do with your issue, but your build tree
should be separate from your source tree, and it also should not be a
subdir of your source tree.

Cheers,
Ralf

Ben,

I had success building gcc 4.2.2 on aix 5.2 recently via the following 
script:

CONFIG_SHELL=/usr/bin/bash
CC=/opt/gcc-4.1.1/bin/gcc # path to the bootstrap compiler

../gcc-4.2.2/configure --enable-version-specific-runtime-libs 
--enable-static --
enable-shared --enable-threads --with-as=/usr/bin/as --without-gnu-ld 
--with-ld=
/usr/bin/ld --prefix=/opt/gcc-4.2.2 --disable-nls --with-pic 
--disable-symvers -
-enable-symvers=no --enable-languages=c,c++,objc

make CFLAGS='-O' LIBCFLAGS='-g -O2' LIBCXXFLAGS='-g -O2 -fno-i
mplicit-templates' bootstrap

RE: AIX 5.3 gcc 4.1.2 bootstrap error

[Jonathan Saxton]

I had lots of difficulty building 4.2.2 on AIX 5.2.  Problem turned out to
be binutils.  I found that I had to delete binutils altogether.  It was not
sufficient to use the make options to specify the native versions of ld and
as because the stage 3 build process would drill down through the installed
tools and will find and use the Gnu versions.  The result was a compiler
which would not link anything which used STL (libstdc++.a)

I got rid of binutils, did a full bootstrap, and everything worked.

And without binutils you don't need the options for ld and as at all.

Hope this helps.  I was stuck on this for weeks.  (For what it is worth the
compiler could build itself so it wasn't necessary to go back to 4.0.0 to do
the bootstrap.)

RE: AIX 5.3 gcc 4.1.2 bootstrap error

[Jonathan Saxton]

Brian:

Yes I knew about that and I had been careful to supply the appropriate
"--with" options to the configure script.  What I didn't know was how
aggressive the stage 3 configuration was in searching for the gnu tools.  I
only discovered the problem because I just happened to be watching the
screen at the moment stage 3 started.  Of course everything scrolled off too
quickly for me to read but a repeat of the build piped through tee showed
"Target ld ..." and "Target as ..." to be something other than the native
AIX tools.  I purged all traces of binutils and everything worked.

Subsequently I did restore cxxfilt because that is useful and harmless but I
think a warning should be added to the text which you mentioned.
