Hi,
i just built GCC 4.3.3 on AIX 5.3 using the following commands:
setenv LDR_CNTRL MAXDATA=0x40000000
../gcc-4.3.3/configure --disable-multilib --with-gmp=/usr/local
make bootstrap-lean
make install
$ config.guess
powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0.0
$ gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
Target: powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0.0
Configured with: ../gcc-4.3.3/configure --disable-multilib
--with-gmp=/usr/local
Thread model: aix
gcc version 4.3.3 (GCC)
The system is an IBM System p JS21 Blade with AIX 5.3 at the latest
patchlevel.
The building c-complier is IBM xlC 10.1
Make is gnu-make 3.80
The disable-multilib configure-option shouldn't be necessary, i used it
for buildtime- and space-saving reasons.
The 'setenv LDR_CNTRL MAXDATA=0x40000000' was necessary to get gcc built
(found that hint in the gcc bug database).
Generally the AIX default memory settings are too low to build/install
the actual gcc-versions. Had to increase the max-data-segment size for
the building user and the environment size on the system, too...
