Problem compiling gcc 4.2.1 on AIX 5.3

Problem compiling gcc 4.2.1 on AIX 5.3

[Anant Athavale]

---------------------------------------------------

I searched internet for the same, but some suggested use gnu tar to  
untar the gcc source file.tar.  Some said use gmake. Even after using  
both, I getting this error.

Please suggest how do I proceed.  The system already has older version  
of gcc installed ver 4.1.1.

[Thomas Mittelstaedt]

Anant,

How did you configure gcc?

I recently built version gcc 4.2.2 on aix 5.2 with the following configure


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

then built with:
make CFLAGS='-O' LIBCFLAGS='-g -O2' LIBCXXFLAGS='-g -O2 
-fno-implicit-templates' bootstrap

You may also consider to set environment variable CONFIG_SHELL to the 
full path of bash like
CONFIG_SHELL=/usr/local/bin/bash
At least when building on hp, it also proved to be useful to set CC to 
the full path of the bootstrap compiler like
CC=/opt/gcc-3.2.1/bin/gcc

Hope that gets you going. You also should use a gnu tar version higher 
than 1.13 to untar the sources and gnu make, of course.
I used version 3.79.1.

The "tooldir" part tells the guessed, given or somehow else got $target 
name being 'powerpc-ibm-aix'...
But the 'gcc/config.gcc' doesn't know this $target :(  Possible ones can 
be '*-*-aix4*' and '*-*-aix5*'
where the first star can be 'rs6000', 'powerpc' or 'ppc'. So that bare 
'aix' isn't understood....

Please see what the command :
    ./config.guess
gives in the main GCC source directory. There shouldn't be that bare 
'aix' in the answer to the guess!
If there is (The system is really stupid in its guesses...), then you 
must be wiser and tell the right names,
for instance :
..../configure --build=powerpc-ibm-aix5.3 --host=powerpc-ibm-aix5.3 
--target=powerpc-ibm-aix5.3 ....

./config.guess output is as below:

/usr/bin/oslevel[845]: sed:  not found
/usr/bin/oslevel: Broken pipe
powerpc-ibm-aix

But when I execute which sed, the output is

/opt/freeware/bin/sed

and this is gnu sed.

Now that I have some hint, I will check, what could be the reason and  
let you know again later.

Thanks.

I would guess the native IBM 'ld'  being used, the  error message from 
the GNU one should be more
'verbose'.  Anyway the linker manual should tell what this 'exit code 
12' means.   In your earlier message
it was told that the '-bbigtoc' switch would be used for the linker when 
linking executables and it was used
too, as the link command here tells... So my advices are to check what 
this exit code 12 means and what
that '-bbigtoc' means and whether it could clash with the GCC defaults 
for code production,  the linker not
really understanding it, or something...

I browsed the documentation :

http://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html#x-ibm-aix

once again and saw there really being this note :

"Some versions of the AIX binder (linker) can fail with a relocation 
overflow severe error when the -bbigtoc option is used to link 
GCC-produced object files into an executable that overflows the TOC. A 
fix for APAR IX75823 (OVERFLOW DURING LINK WHEN USING GCC AND -BBIGTOC) 
is available from IBM Customer Support and from its 
techsupport.services.ibm.com <http://techsupport.services.ibm.com/> 
website as PTF U455193."

You should check if this is the case...

Re: Problem compiling gcc 4.2.1 on AIX 5.3

[Thomas Mittelstaedt]

Anant,

We also use gcc and the aix system linker and we don't use the 
-Wl,-bbigtoc linker option, but
compile files with -mminimal-toc.

Have you tried to configure & build with the setup I emailed yesterday?

Re: Problem compiling gcc 4.2.1 on AIX 5.3

[Anant S Athavale]

Thanks everybody.  Finally I could compile in full gcc 4.2.2 on AIX  
5.3.  It required me to install GNU bash and GNU bison to achieve it.

I ran normal configure without any options.  And make went through.   
It took several hours on my p610 system for to finish compiling.

Thanks a lot again for pointing me towards solving my problem.

Regards,
ANANT.
