powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.2.0 c++ build failure

powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.2.0 c++ build failure

[Steve Edwards]

Hi,

I have been bootstrapping a build of gcc 4.3.1 on
powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.2.0 and hit the following error (sorry about the
text wrapping):

It was configured with:

/civil2/gcc-4.3.1/configure --enable-languages=c,fortran,c++
--mandir=/usr/local/share/man --infodir=/usr/local/share/info
--with-gmp=/usr/local --with-mpfr=/usr/local --enable-threads=aix
--disable-nls --disable-multilib

I wondered if anyone had come across this before and if there were any
suggestions to get around it?

Bootstrapping just C and Fortran works fine fortunately.
