4.2.52 compile error on C++ module on AIX 5.2 using gcc 3.3.2

[RW]

Would someone happen to have some ideas as why this is getting an
error. Get the same problem using IBM's C compiler v 6.0.

Thanks

This suggests your C++ Standard Library headers are broken in some
interesting ways. You'll have to look at line 108 of that file, and
check for surrounding #if conditions not being satisfied.

You're getting a compiler error about a missing _declaration_, not an
"undefined reference" from the linker. I.e. it's irrelevant what's in
the library according to 'nm' --- the problem is with the headers, not
the library. You'll have to inspect preprocessor output or the header
file(s) itself to see what's going on there.

Turns out that defining LARGE_FILES somehow precludes the header file
processing from including the non-64 bit declarations. It compiled
fine if I pass --disable-largefile in the configure step.

My question is should defining LARGE_FILE prevent the declaration of
non-64 bit functions? If not then the problem is either in gcc or the
vendor supplied files.
