Hi Sangamesh,
I'm really interested to see the gcc-15 port be complete - meaning the new gcobol frontend to be included.
... but as it is currently only supporting x86_64 and arm64 I guess that's out of scope? It still would be interesting to see how far you get, after all it technically only needs a processor with float128 support (as far as I've followed, not sure if this still applies to gcc-15).

Hi Florian,
Yes. We should be building gcc15 for AIX.
We are starting the gcc15 port work this week and let you know it's status in about 2 weeks, and also the timeline when this can be available on AIX Toolbox.

RedHat Linux is now officially supporting GCC 15 and our Linux build is already upgraded (and we finally migrated from a custom make system to CMake). Obviously we would like to leverage this work for our AIX build as well. Therefore, I would like to understand whether somebody already successfully compiled GCC 15 on AIX 7.2/7.3 and whether we can have hopes for an (s)rpm soon (even a Beta is fine).
We would have a much easier time convincing management to retain an AIX build of our product if we could migrate AIX to the same toolchain that we use for Linux.
