You better want to try prefix-launcher[1] to bootstrap Gentoo Prefix on |
10 |
AIX. Use the wiki pages [2] as starting point. |
11 |
Also you might want to use prefix-launcher from svn[3] instead of the |
12 |
release tar-ball, as the latter most likely has outdated package |
13 |
versions. |

|
15 |
Unfortunately I didn't test it recently myself, so it might be broken |
16 |
ATM, partially maybe because of outdated versions, sorry - but you're |
17 |
welcome to test it on AIX ;) |
18 |
But AFAIK, mduft used svn/trunk on Interix recently... |

Any of xlc or gcc-3.3.2 should be sufficient to bootstrap gcc, but |
32 |
prefix-launcher should do that for you. |
33 |
|
34 |
xlc is found as /usr/vac/bin/xlc here. |

Better not - gcc claims to not use GNU binutils on AIX, so for me, |
40 |
cross-compiling for AIX is not an option at all, although I've heard |
41 |
some people doing that. |
