gnat and Irix 6.2

gnat and Irix 6.2

[Strategies SA]

We just receive Irix 6.2.
I would like to know if gnat3.03-irix5.3 works with Irix 6.2 
and if somebody have experience on this topic.

I have lots of experience with this topic!

You will need to edit the file:

   /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/mips-sgi-irix5.3/2.7.2/specs

to pass the options "-32 -old_ld" to the linker.  You do this by editing
the line:

*link:
%{G*} %{EB} %{EL} %{mips1} %{mips2} %{mips3} %{bestGnum} %{shared} \
%{non_shared} %{call_shared} %{no_archive} %{exact_version} \
%{!shared:%{!non_shared:%{!call_shared: -call_shared -no_unresolved}}} \
-_SYSTYPE_SVR4

to read:

*link:
%{G*} %{EB} %{EL} %{mips1} %{mips2} %{mips3} %{bestGnum} %{shared} \
%{non_shared} %{call_shared} %{no_archive} %{exact_version} \
%{!shared:%{!non_shared:%{!call_shared: -call_shared -no_unresolved}}} \
-32 -old_ld -_SYSTYPE_SVR4

(note, I added the back slashes).  It will work like a charm.
