   6 <P>Compiling this library requires a recent version of gcc.  (For instance,
   7    gcc 2-95 works well.)  In addition, <A HREF="/autoconf/">autoconf</A>
   8    versions 2.13 and above and <A HREF="/automake/">automake</A> versions
   9    1.3b and above are required and essential ingredients for those mucking
  10    about in the Makefiles and trying to configure on new targets.  Other
  11    tools and complete installation instructions can be found in
  12    <A HREF="install.html">the installation page</A>.

  27 <P>This release has been tested with gcc 2.95 on the following
  28    platforms.  The configuration of --disable-namespaces
  29    --disable-libgcc-rebuild was tested. Results for the
  30    --enable-namespaces builds should be comparable.  Here are the
  31    results for snapshots 2.90.N:

 120 <P>Note 1: A newer compiler than gcc-2.95.2 is required.
 121 </P>
 122
 123 <P>Note 2: All solaris toolchains were configured with --with-gnu-ld
 124 --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-binutils --with-gcc. (That's a lot of --with's...)
 125 </P>
 126
 127 <P>Note 3: Configuration and initial support for AIX has been
 128    completed. However, problems with the compiler/linker have
 129    prevented testing. For instance, mknumeric_limits will fail unless
 130    weak linking is possible, which doesn't seem possible on
 131    AIX. The initial bug report is
 132    <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-bugs/2000-03/msg00574.html"> here </a>
 133
 134 <P>And the response from one of the powerpc port maintainers:
 135    <BLOCKQUOTE><EM>
 136    I opposed the original solution (involving weak symbols) on ELF, as
 137    it seemed to be the wrong idea.  I'm not sure what the right fix is,
 138    and don't think I have time to work on it right now.
