  • 1.  Any chance of getting GCC 8.2 on AIX 7.1?

    We are planning to backport that fix on gcc 6.3 and publish from AIX toolbox.

    As many people want to stick to same level of gcc because of libraries provided by gcc and compatibility. 

    We are also looking to provide 8.1/8.2 on AIX 7.1 as well.

    Great, thanks sanket. Any idea when you might publish this fix?

     

    T.Rex: Thanks too for your suggestion. We are planning to ship our product built with the AIX toolbox GCC (because IBM). But at least we can try the Bull Freeware version in the meantime to check if it really fixes our bug.

    It's "beta" because there are still few tests failing and because "cgo" is not yet provided (end of October).

    Thanks sanket. In the meantime we ended up just patching GCC ourselves, but we'd prefer to use the packages IBM provides.

    We tried your updated package today, and it hit this error compiling OpenSSL:

     

    $ gcc -I. -I.. -I../include -DOPENSSL_THREADS -pthread -DDSO_DLFCN -DHAVE_DLFCN_H -DOPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED -DPURIFY -maix64 -O -DB_ENDIAN -DOPENSSL_BN_ASM_MONT -DSHA1_ASM -DSHA256_ASM -DSHA512_ASM -DAES_ASM -DVPAES_ASM -c -o cryptlib.o cryptlib.c

    Any ideas?

    Seems like you don't have gmp package installed. Please install it.

    We did have gmp installed, but it turned out to be the perzl version. I have installed the IBM version instead and it looks good now.
