TOC overflow on AIX

TOC overflow on AIX

I'm trying to 
compile gcc 3.0.1 on AIX 4.3.0_08. I'm getting a TOC overflow error. Using a 
packaged binary version of gcc 2.9.3 to compile with binutils 
2.11.2.
Looking at the docs 
it says:
 
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 
website as PTF U455193. 
 
I've tried this 
however I'm still getting the same message. Can anyone offer suggestions as to 
what else to do?
 
Thanks,
 
Graham

Adding -Wl,-bbigtoc to gcc at link time always worked for me (AIX 4.3.3.0).

Never used this. I don't have root permissions.

Did you by any chance compile GNU ld from binutils 2.11.2 ?
GCC does not support GNU ld on AIX (maybe GNU ld is not supported
on AIX at all).
