Problems compiling glib/gtk on AIX

[esprit89 <lists techintco com>]

Hello,

I am attempting unsuccessfully to compile glib 2.6.3 (or any glib after 2.1.X for that matter) on AIX 5.1 with gcc 3.4.3. The error is listed below. 

I found a reference to this problem where it was suggested the person had built gcc incorrectly, defining a different assembler for the build of gcc compared with the build of glib. I only have the AIX system assembler /bin/as and explicitly referenced it during the build of gcc.

Any suggestions?

Thank you,
Michael
