The title says it all: Has anyone ported GNU-make to the IBM RS-6000 running AIX? I ran into troubles with arscan.c (the format of AIX's .a files appears to be somewhat alternative), but before I dig into it, I figured I'd try the net to see if someone's already solved this. Thanks.

I have been wondering the same thing. Apparently, it is due to
be released with gcc-2.00, whenever that appears. I would like
very much to have it available because I also want G++ on this
box.
Alas, there also may be a political problem arising with IBM and
lawsuits, so the AIX/RS6000 port may *never* be available from
FSF.
Oh well.

Look on export.lcs.mit.edu, in contrib/gmake-6000.tar.Z. I ported it myself before seeing this; it really isn't that difficult to do yourself if you're willing to weed out the differences between what the distribution expects and what AIX provides. >Alas, there also may be a political problem arising with IBM and >lawsuits, so the AIX/RS6000 port may *never* be available from >FSF. Huh? This is new... the only problem I ever heard about was actually shipping Emacs with the system. Is there something else? (According to the FSF, GCC/G++ will support the RS/6000; also, Emacs 18.57 does right now...)

I ported Well, I ported it from export...let it sit around a few days and accidently nuked it. I tried porting it from export again and export seems to have had every record of its existence wiped from the face of the earth. Does anybody know the current FQDN for this machine? Anybody know the IP#? While I'm at it...where can emacs-18.57 be found? Dave -- David A.
