Hi,

Using pkgsrc-2006Q1, subversion-base is failing on AIX5.3 like this...

The only odd thing I'm doing is setting the following in mk.conf:

USE_NATIVE_GCC=yes

# Configure scripts don't always get this right
MACHINE_GNU_PLATFORM=powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0.0
CC=gcc
CHECK_SHLIBS=no
RENAME=
USE_GCC3=yes


... since gcc-c++ won't build.

Any idea what could be going on here?

Thanks,

Louis
