I am trying to build gcc-2.95.1 on an RS6000 running AIX 4.2 an get the
following error. Does anybody know what this is about. I can provide more
information if it is needed.

Scott,
I did get 2.95.1 to build and run on 4.2.
You need to do the following
build gnu make. gcc will not build with the AIX make
$ export MAKE={your gnu make path}
$ cd somedir
$ gunzip -c gcc-2.95.1.tar.gz | tar xvf -
$ mkdir {build-dir}
$ cd {build-dir}
$ ../gcc-2.95.1/configure --enable-languages=c,c++ {do not build all, java
does not seem to work yet and will fail.}
$ $MAKE bootstrap
$ $MAKE -k check
$ $MAKE info
$ $MAKE install
NOTE: The build-dir and gcc-2.95.1 should be in the same dir as gcc-2.95.1.
Do not build gcc in gcc-2.95.1 it won't work.
However we ran into the parsing bug and can't us it, see known bugs.
We have installed egcs-1.1.2 instead and it seems to be working fine.
Thanks
