Re: Problem compiling gcc 4.2.1 on AIX 5.3

[Anant Athavale <asa@isac.gov.in>]

I have resolved the problem of sed, now compilation fails at this stage:

/tmp/gcc-4.2.2/host-powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0.0/prev-gcc/xgcc  
-B/tmp/gcc-4.2.2/host-powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0.0/prev-gcc/  
-B/usr/local/powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0.0/bin/   -g -O2 -DIN_GCC   -W -Wall  
-Wwrite-strings -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -pedantic
