After fixing up my AIX build environment like this...

USE_NATIVE_GCC=yes
CC=/opt/freeware/bin/gcc
CPP=/opt/freeware/bin/cpp
CXX=/opt/freeware/bin/g++

# Configure scripts don't always get this right
MACHINE_GNU_PLATFORM=powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0.0

CHECK_SHLIBS=no
RENAME=
USE_GCC3=yes

PKGMAKECONF=${MAKECONF}
DEPENDS_TARGET=package

... subversion-base fails like this...

On this system, /usr/bin/ld is softlinked to /usr/ccs/bin/ld

I have GNU ld in /opt/freeware/bin/gld, but if I try to use that, gcc
stops working; `cannot create executables'.



Any help getting this going would be great. Thanks!
