lots of trouble with rs6000-ibm-aix3.2.5

lots of trouble with rs6000-ibm-aix3.2.5

[Kate Hedstrom]

I started by trying "configure; make" on the IBM and got as far as:

        ./move-if-change tmp-attrtab.c insn-attrtab.c
        touch stamp-attrtab
        gcc  -DIN_GCC    -g -O2   -DHAVE_CONFIG_H     -I. -I. -I./config -c insn-attrtab.c
gcc: Internal compiler error: program cc1 got fatal signal 9
The error code from the last failed command is 1.


This is with:

moby.rutgers.edu% gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/rs6000-ibm-aix3.2.5/2.7.2.2.f.3a/specs
gcc version 2.7.2.2.f.3a


Craig - would you like me to try again with a vanilla 2.7.2.x gcc?

After this, I thought I would try the xlc compiler with LANGUAGES=c.
It goes a little better if you add the flags -D_POSIX_SOURCE -D_ALL_SOURCE,
but there are a fair number of other problems I haven't tracked down
yet.  I just wanted you to be aware that someone with more time and
experience should look into this if you want to support this architecture.

Sorry, it looks like I have egcs on my face for that.  I tried again on
a twin machine with more memory and got as far as:

        rm -f milli.exp
        cp ./config/rs6000/milli.exp ./milli.exp
        /d0/kate/gnu/egcs-970825/gcc/xgcc -B/d0/kate/gnu/egcs-970825/gcc/  -DIN_
GCC    -g -O2 -I./include  -I. -I. -I./config \
                -c ./objc/hash.c -o objc/hash.o
xgcc: Internal compiler error: program cc1 got fatal signal 6
The error code from the last failed command is 1.

Make Quitting.

So it made it through building gcc, g++, and g77.

   gcc: Internal compiler error: program cc1 got fatal signal 9

Signal 9 is SIGKILL, which in this case probably means that the
program got too big to be swapped and the system had to get rid of it
quickly.  Try increasing your swap space.

Note, compiling insn-attrtab can require huge amounts of memory,
especially when optimizing.

Make sure you don't have any soft memory limits and that you've
got plenty of swap space.
