--- Comment #13 from Michael Felt <aixtools at gmail dot com> --- As far as I know, GNU as and GNU ld have never been favored on AIX. And, they are LAST in the PATH variable. In the initial attempts I had read about the compare pass, that some hosts never succeed, and than a tool in binutils was "missed" in the make process. FYI: I only installed binutils after the first compare passes had failed. And, ultimately, I may (be forced to) follow your recommendation. Which I would consider a sad thing.
