Yes. You need to compile everything with the GCC -mminimal-toc flag. But I don't think you will get any version of GNAT to work safisfactorilly on AIX 3.x. You really need 4.1.4 here, mainly because the 3.x versions have no threads. > Isn't it a shame that one is forced to upgrade systems? > I am shure that the compilers would run smoothly on the old OSes, > would they only be compiled on the old OSes. > > I do not want to change my running systems!!! If you want to maintain old stuff, do it with motorcycles, it's less frustrating :-)
