Hi, Grant.  I just noticed that you committed a bunch
of wrappers for AIX back in Feb.  Is this ready for
testing?  If so, I'm running into a couple of problems
that I think may be related.

My testing environment is a p610 running AIX 5.3
patchset 1.

==========================
Attempt with XLC
==========================
First, I started clean (rm -rf /usr/pkg; rm -rf
/var/db/pkg then bootstrap). 

My mk.conf file looks like this:

PKG_DBDIR=/var/db/pkg
LOCALBASE=/usr/pkg
FETCH_CMD=/usr/pkg/bin/ftp
PAX=/usr/pkg/bin/pax
SED=/usr/pkg/bin/nbsed
CC=/usr/bin/xlc
CHECK_SHLIBS=no
GCC_REQD=3.0
CONFIG_SHELL=/opt/freeware/bin/bash
MAKE_FLAGS+="-j2"
CLEANDEPENDS=YES


The bootstrap fails with the following:
        /usr/bin/xlc *.o -o bmake.boot 
-L../libnbcompat -lnbcompat
        rm -f *.[ado] */*.[ado] 
        CC="/usr/bin/xlc" MAKEFLAGS=""
MAKESYSPATH=/usr/pkg/share/mk ./bmake.boot -f Makefile

/usr/bin/xlc -O -I. -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H 
-I../libnbcompat -I./missing -DNEED_HOST_CDEFS_H
"-D_PATH_DEFSYSPATH=\"/usr/pkg/share/mk\""  
-DSIGNAL_FLAGS=SA_RESTART  -Werror   -c arch.c
/usr/bin/xlc: 1501-210 command option Werror contains
an incorrect subargument
*** Error code 40

Stop.
bmake.boot: stopped in
/usr/pkgsrc/bootstrap/work/bmake
make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is
1.


Stop.
===> exited with status 2
aborted.

As it says, the error is with the -Werror flag that is
passed to XLC at this point.  If I comment the
"CFLAGS+= -Werror" directive out of the
bootstrap/bmake/mk/bsd.sys.mk file, bootstrap works
cleanly.

I suspect, however, that the solution is not to just
take this flag out but instead to create a case for if
xlc rather than gcc is used. There is probably a
correct place to set whether or not this flag gets set
for XLC, but I don't know where this would be.  Any
thoughts?

--------- Post-bootstrap: XLC ----------
I first symlink a working zcat to /usr/pkg/bin/zcat
(this is a known issue if I recall correctly).

I then build / install "devel/patch"

I then attempt to build "archivers/gzip" so that I can
replace my zcat.  I encounter the following problem:

Pkgsrc attempts to build gcc, gmake as a dependency. 
During the toolchain wrapper portion of the gmake
install, an error occurs:

===> Creating toolchain wrappers for gmake-3.80nb4
/bin/sh:
/usr/pkgsrc/devel/gmake/work/.wrapper/tmp/gen-reorder:
 not found.
*** Error code 127

Stop.
bmake: stopped in /usr/pkgsrc/devel/gmake
*** Error code 1

I verified that "gen-reorder" does not exist in
work/.wrapper/tmp/.  I don't know when or from whence
gen-reorder is created.


=======================
Attempt with GCC
=======================
My gcc is 3.4.3 and was hand-built on this machine.

Again, I start with a clean build (rm -rf /usr/pkg; rm
-rf /var/db/pkg; ./cleanup)

I modify my mk.conf:
PKG_DBDIR=/var/db/pkg
LOCALBASE=/usr/pkg
FETCH_CMD=/usr/pkg/bin/ftp
PAX=/usr/pkg/bin/pax
SED=/usr/pkg/bin/nbsed
CC=/usr/gcc34/bin/gcc
CHECK_SHLIBS=no
GCC_REQD=3.0
CONFIG_SHELL=/opt/freeware/bin/bash
MAKE_FLAGS+="-j2"
CLEANDEPENDS=YES

The bootstrap works cleanly with this configuration.

------------ Post bootstrap: GCC --------------
My first step is to build "devel/patch"

I attempt to build and get the following error:

===> Creating toolchain wrappers for patch-2.5.4nb2
/bin/sh:
/usr/pkgsrc/devel/patch/work/.wrapper/tmp/gen-reorder:
 not found.
*** Error code 127

This seems to be related to the error that I get when
building gmake with XLC.  I'm not sure of from where
work/.wrapper/tmp/gen-reorder is built.


---------------------
Let me know if there is anything else I can provide. 
I just wanted to provide feedback since there had
recently been some changes to AIX support.
