Comment 1 Tom Tromey 2011-11-18 15:56:55 UTC 
Is this still a problem with the latest release?
Comment 2 stuart_kemp 2011-11-18 21:07:07 UTC 
I have no idea ... easiest would be for you to try compiling the code ...
Surely someone must have tried this in the 7+ years since I reported this issue!!!

Maybe, but I have no way to know.
I also don't have access to the compiler or system involved, so I can't
try it myself.
If you can't or don't want to bother with this, I can close it.
Comment 4 Joel Brobecker 2012-10-18 16:16:16 UTC 
Looking at the files involved, it looks like it should be redispatched to gcc (libiberty) and bfd, no?

Stuart: There aren't many people with access to an AIX system, and even those who do may not have access to xlc. All I know is that I am able to build GDB on AIX when using GCC as the compiler. Can you try using GCC instead?

Yeah.  I think we should just close this.  Keeping it open all these years hasn't done any good, and it's not likely to do any good now either.
Comment 6 stuart_kemp 2012-10-18 20:19:41 UTC 
This is from such a looooong time ago ... maybe it is fixed/addressed, maybe not.
Possibly it did compile with gcc at the time, but I think I was trying xlc because the gcc-built gdb binary just did not work.

Close it, and will resubmit if need be in the future.

To be reopened if issue still exists.
