I build GCC almost daily on AIX and test installation and do not have this problem. Are you configuring GCC in a special way? Do you set the installation directory prefix when you configure? I build GCC with GCC and have an older version of GCC (including libstdc++) already installed. I do not understand why you refer to native ld on AIX and what that has to do with any problem. $ dump -H cc1 ***Import File Strings*** INDEX PATH BASE MEMBER 0 /tmp/20130123/prev-powerpc-ibm-aix7.1.0.0/libstdc++-v3/src/.libs:/tmp/20130123/prev-powerpc-ibm-aix7.1.0.0/libstdc++-v3/libsupc++/.libs:/usr/gnu/lib:../zlib:/tmp/20130123/./prev-gcc:/usr/lib:/lib 1 libc.a shr.o 2 libgcc_s.a shr.o 3 libmpfr.a libmpfr.so.4 4 libstdc++.a libstdc++.so.6 5 libgmp.a libgmp.so.3 6 libmpc.a libmpc.so.2 Yes, it refers to the build directory, but it also include /usr/gnu/lib on the path and a copy of libstdc++.a is in /usr/gnu/lib. I often re-link the executable and add -Wl,-blibpath: to set a narrower search path. With your patch do you configure with any additional options to cause the libraries to be linked statically? The values you set in the patch are correct, but something still does not make sense with the problem. Thanks, David

The general approach is insert the ChangeLog, as text, in the body of the email message. Create a patch for the actual changes to the source code and append it in the message if it is small or attach it if it is large. > Since switching to C++ inside gcc, it isn't possible to get working gcc/g++ > binaries installed using native ld on AIX without this patch, as these need > dynamic libstdc++.a from builddir(!).

I have added your patch, but LDFLAGS only includes -static-libstdc++ -static-libgcc for stage1, when the initial GCC does not implement it. I configure with --with-boot-ldflags=-L/usr/gnu/lib so that bootstrap will find the gmp, mpfr, mpc shared libraries. Do you have those libraries built statically or shared? Thanks, David
