Problem getting libffi tested on powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0.0

Hi all,

first of all I had problems get libffi-3.0.8 compiled on
powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0.0 platform. I created attached patches and tried to run
the tests as suggested by Havard, but they won't run properly with xlc [1,
2]. Aleksej finds some powerpc users which have a gcc and reported 4
failures - but I don't know which went wrong.
I searched a bit how to configure dejagnu for the named platform, but with
less success. The only switch I've found is `env
RUNTESTFLAGS="CC_FOR_TARGET=cc" make test`. The result can be found at [3]
(to big to attach).

Any help is welcome.
Best regards,
Jens

Did you try binaries from there:

http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/power/software/aix/linux/toolbox/download.html

or directly:

ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc/gcc/libffi-4.2.0-3.aix5.3.ppc.rpm

patches and .spec are also available.

Laurent
