Any chance you could provide GCC 7.x or 8.x for AIX71? I've tried rebuilding https://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/SRPMS/gcc/gcc-8.1.0-2.src.rpm on AIX71 but the rpm spec file appears to require packages not downloadable from from https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/aix/library/aix-toolbox/date.html:

       binutils-gccgov1 is needed by gcc-8.1.0-2.ppc

Much appreciated in advance

We will check on this problem. Meanwhile you can remove the problematic "BuildRequires:" field from spec file and try the build.

Your /bin/tar understands GNU tar format but mine does not.

If you think /bin/tar is the real problem here, then you can edit this file to make rpm use /opt/freeware/bin/tar instead of /bin/tar. And of course you should have tar rpm installed in the machine.

I've worked around it by retarring the sources with /bin/tar. But then autoreconf fails.
