--- Comment #14 from Dr. David Kirkby <david.kirkby at onetel dot net> 2011-03-23 17:11:42 UTC --- Has anyone with an AIX support contract ever raised this issue with IBM? If so, is there a publicly viewable location for this? If not, can someone do it. My own RS/6000 is an ancient thing I personally own, and so I have no support contract at all. It seems to me it could be a gcc bug or a bug in the AIX assembler or linker. It would be interesting to try to replace the systems linker and assembler with versions from unpatched 5.3 or 6.1. That might give some clues. I can see this issue raised on an IBM AIX forum http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=348558 but don't know if its even being considered by IBM.
