Build fails on AIX

[pontius]

On AIX build fails with the following message:

If I remember correctly, version 2.2.1 used to buiild fine on AIX... is that right? The errors above suggest that .S files, which should produce an "empty" object file each on non-ARM, non-x86 systems, haven't produced any. Could you please provide full configure/make output, as well as the compiler version?

[pontius]

The last version I did compile was 2.2.0, can't tell if 2.2.1 still worked.

If we are to believe the NEWS file, the fixes you submitted for 2.2 were included in 2.2.1. If you have the time, could you please try to build all the versions after 2.2 until it breaks? You can find the old tarballs here. (My guess is that it shouldn't take long to break.)

[pontius]

Yes, you were right - 2.2 doesn't build at all, so 2.2.1 was the first working version. And now the fun part: 2.2.1 fails with the same error (see above). Looks like something has changed in my build env. I'll investigate over the weekend...

[pooler]

That's what I suspected, as I don't remember having changed anything that could have caused the errors you reported. Looking forward to the results of your investigation.

[pontius]

Sorry for the late reply, took somewhat longer then expected (as I had to convice a colleague to setup a fresh AIX LPAR for testing ;-). Same result with the "virgin" LPAR - looks like the object files were missing from the beginning...

Fixed by commit 3737e48.
