    Hello,

    I'd like to pass on a request from engineers in the systems group to have GCC 7.2.1 available for AIX. They need it to be in sync with GCC on the RedHat systems they're also using.

    Thank you,

    Tai Morris

    https://www.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=gcc shows that Fedora names the versions of GCC as: 7.2.1, 7.3.1, 8.0.1 .

    However, https://gcc.gnu.org/ shows that GCC.org names them as: 7.2, 7.3 . and 8.1 is not yet out.

    Moreover, on AIX, GCC depends on the version of AIX: 6.1, 7.1, 7.2 .

    So, I think that what Redhat/Fedora calls 7.2.1 is: 7.2, named 7.2.0 on BullFreeware.

    You can get version 7.2.0 (GCC.org 7.2) at BullFreeware: http://www.bullfreeware.com/search.php?package=gcc .

    GCC 7.3 had an issue on AIX. On his way.

    GCC 8 is coming. You can get drafts for AIX 7.2 at: http://www.bullfreeware.com/go/go8.0.1/aix7.2/ .

    Regards,

    Tony
