Here's the exact failure mode.
stage1/xgcc -Bstage1/ -B/home/lsd/oliva/test/egcs/unknown-AIX-1/powerpc-ibm-aix4.1.5.0/bin/ -DIN_GCC -g -O2 -W -Wall -Wwrite-strings -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wtraditional -pedantic -Wno-long-long -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DGENERATOR_FILE -o gengenrtl \
gengenrtl.o ../libiberty/libiberty.a
collect2: stage1/libgcc.a: not a COFF file
Interestingly, `ar t' from binutils 2.11 shows the archive members
just fine, but that from CVS mainline gives:
BFD: BFD 2.11.93 20020129 assertion fail /home/lsd/oliva/src/tool/egcs/bfd/libbfd.c:1110
before proceeding to list all archive members correctly.
I'll try to look further into it tomorrow.
