Hi
I ran into this error building my AIX 5.3 cross-compiler (since gcc 7)
during the libgcc stage:
/tmp/ccm6OmNp.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccm6OmNp.s:445: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized
character is `,'
gas does not like this line, it has an extra field:
.comm __gcov_time_profiler_counter,8,3,hidden
From the xlC docs:
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/aix/library/au-aix-symbol-visibility-part2/index.html
Listing 14. Syntax for specifying visibility attribute in assembly
.extern Name [ , Visibility ]
.globl Name [ , Visibility ]
.weak Name [ , Visibility ]
.comm Name, Expression [, Number [, Visibility ] ]
Just a heads up, I have no idea how and if this should be fixed and I
can still use my existing toolchain.
BR,
