building gcc/g++ 3.0 on aix: gen-num-limits failed to execute

building gcc/g++ 3.0 on aix: gen-num-limits failed to execute

[Paul DeMello]

I'm having problems building libstdc++-v3, I believe.

My system:

os:  powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.3.0
binutils:  2.9.aix43.010216 (as recommended on the gnu gcc site)
make:  GNU Make version 3.77
gcc -v:   (I had installed just gcc 3.0 before (not g++), successfully)
Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.3.0/3.0/specs
Configured with: ./configure
Thread model: single
gcc version 3.0

What I did:

./configure --enable-threads=pthreads
nice /usr/local/bin/make bootstrap-lean

Eventually, after a few hours, I get:

Adding multilib support to Makefile in .

Add --disable-aix64 to the configure command line.

But beware: C++ exception handling is quite broken on AIX in GCC 3.0,
unfortunately.  Hopefully, the problems are going to be fixed in time
for GCC 3.0.1.

I broke down in a similar place.  This is after the compiler has
bootstrapped.   Line 178 in mknumeric_limits is the area where
that script tries to compile gen-num-limits but I wasn't able to root
cause it.  I ran the compile that dumped core by hand and it worked
fine.  Running 'gmake bootstrap' again got the build to continue
on its way (it is still building - takes over 14 hours for this
build to complete on this machine/os).

--disable-powerpccpu

If you run into any other similar problem, have a look at
config-ml.in.  In the powerpc*|rs6000* case, there are a number of
$enable_* variables tested for, whose --disable-* configure option
counterparts can be used to disable certain multilibs.  I, for one,
use --disable-multilib for my AIX 4.1.5 builds, but that's because my
AIX 4.1.5 box is dog slow.

That looked like it solved the problem until, a few hours later, it spit out
the following: (almost looks like it's trying to build libstdc++v3 for
aix64, even though initial configure said to disable that....  )

Indeed.  Will you please post the contents of the top-level
config.status?

The preprocessor crashed.  Is this problem reproducible?  Even if you
start the build over, from scratch?

Yes, it always stops at the same place.

Well, then, it looks like the bootstrap compiler is broken, since it's
not producing a working cpp0.  Any chance of your using different
compiler options for this build, or perhaps using a different
pre-compiled version of GCC as the bootstrap compiler?

Did you start the build in a clean build tree?  It appears to me that,
if powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.3.0/ppc64 already existed in the build tree, the
multi-lib stuff would attempt to use it, regardless of
--disable-aix64.

I'm sure I did..    Well, as long as a "make clean" causes that to be. 
I was running make clean after every build failure.   I'll try again 
just to be sure.

I don't think it does.  It won't remove sub-directories of
${target_alias}, IIRC.
