Thank you for this answer.
actually, some hours after i posted my question, I found this myself.
But, thanks again.
I tried to compile gcc 2.7.2 with ada included..
after some hours of compilation (the RS6000 is a 8 year old 25 MHz machine)
the build died because "gnat1" could not be linked by "ld".
The reason was that the TOC (table of contents, i assume) has had
more than 65536 entries.
Then I fetched the "binutils" in order to link with gnu-ld,
but this gave the same error.
I have given up to have "glade" on my AIXen (I have 7, but 5 of them
run AIX 3.2 and will never be upgraded).
GNAT is not the only compiler that i would like to have on
this old set of machines. Normally i use Fortran, but i am stuck
with IBM xlf-3.1, since this is the last version that runs on AIX 3.2.
IBM does not supply the actual version xlf-5x for the old OS
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!!!
