When trying to 'make LANGUAGES=c' on an IBM RS6000 running AIX, I got the 
following output:

Is this related to the bug mentioned in in the AIX assembler that is
mentioned in the README.RS6000 file, or is it a bug in the compiler? Since
the README file only mentioned that the bug would occur when debugging code
compiled by gcc, I assumed that the compiler would compile itself whether I
have the patch or not (I don't know yet whether we do have the patch but I
suspect not). Please help. I would badly like to have gcc running on our
RS6000's. Thanks,

Cheers,                                         petcher@wuphys.wustl.edu
