Debugging code compiled with GCC on the RS/6000 requires that you
|
||||
upgrade the AIX assembler /bin/as with a replacement that is available
|
||||
from IBM.
|
||||
|
||||
Any customer can order and get the replacement assembler, and install
|
||||
it on one or more machines. It is distributed both on diskette and
|
||||
via VNET, for downloading via ftp. VNET distribution may be desirable
|
||||
if you have a friendly IBM rep nearby with a networked VM machine.
|
||||
|
||||
In either case, to order, execute
|
||||
lslpp -h bos.obj to determine your release level. (Look on the
|
||||
ACTIVE line for something like 03.01.0005.0012.) Then call IBM Support
|
||||
at 800-237-5511. Ask for emergency shipment of the rs6000 AIX fix for
|
||||
APAR IX22829. They may ask you to verify that it's a fix for ".extern
|
||||
foo conflicts with defining foo"; say yes. They may also ask you for
|
||||
your customer number. If you do not know it, you will still be able
|
||||
to get the fix, but you will have to be persistent.
|
||||
|
||||
You will receive a tar or tar.Z file containing an assembler plus
|
||||
installation instructions.
|
||||
|
||||
If you tell them you're running AIX version 3.2, you may be told that
|
||||
no fix is available yet. In fact the 3.15 fix works fine on version
|
||||
3.2. Talk them into shipping it to you anyway.
|
||||
|
||||
A second upgrade is in the works that will replace IX22829 and fix two
|
||||
more problems with debug information. There's no scheduled
|
||||
availability yet, but it's probably summer '92. Ask for the fix for
|
||||
APAR IX26107, "Don't allow .csect name[BS] or [UC]"
|
||||
|
||||
IBM has corresponding support organizations outside of North America.
|
||||
Call your IBM branch office and ask them to put you in touch with the
|
||||
department that handles emergency fixes for AIX on the RS/6000. If
|
||||
that doesn't work, ask for the department that handles software defect
|
||||
support for AIX on the RS/6000. Then ask for the emergency APAR fix.
