Annotation of gcc/README.RS6000, revision 1.1.1.1

1.1 root 1: The current release of GCC 2 does not support debugging on the RS/6000.
2: Debugging support is being written, and will probably be in a future
3: release.
4:
5: The current version of the assembler (/bin/as) for the RS/6000 has
6: certain problems that prevent debugging with GCC from working at all.
7:
8: IBM has produced a fixed version of the assembler. The replacement
9: assembler is not a standard component of either AIX 3.1.5 or AIX 3.2,
10: but is expected to become standard in a future distribution.
11:
12: If you have an RS/6000, you can get the fixed assembler either on
13: diskette or via VNET ftp. VNET distribution may be desirable if you
14: have an IBM rep nearby with a networked VM machine.
15:
16: In either case, have your customer number ready and execute
17: lslpp -h bos.obj
18: to determine your release level. (Look on the ACTIVE line for
19: something like 03.01.0005.0012.) Then call IBM Support at
20: 800-237-5511. Ask for emergency shipment of the RS/6000 AIX fix for
21: APAR IX22829. They may ask you to verify that it's a fix for ".extern
22: foo conflicts with defining foo"; say yes. You will receive a tar or
23: tar.Z file containing an assembler plus installation instructions.
24:
25: You might as well start this process now rather than waiting until
26: you actually wish you had the fixed assembler.
