[CLN-list] problems building on powerpc64

[Dmitry Khutornoy]

Hello.

I have tried to compile with defined __rs6000__ and make reports following error
now:
...
g++ -shared -nostdlib
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-suse-linux/3.3.3/../../../../lib/crti.o

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [libcln.la] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2


though everything was compiled with -fPIC:
g++ -O -I../include -I../include -I./base -c ./base/output/cl_prin_globals.cc  -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/cl_prin_globals.o

Maybe this is completely different problem and it is concerned with
system i'm compiling on so i post again my configuration:

Linux blade1 2.6.5-7.252-pseries64 #1 SMP Tue Feb 14 11:11:04 UTC 2006 ppc64 ppc64 ppc64 GNU/Linux


> OK, you are compiling in PowerPC 32-bit mode, but CLN's configuration was
> confused because you have a 64-bit CPU.

> The immediate workaround for you is to change include/cln/config.h so that it
> defines __rs6000__ and not __powerpc64__, do a "make clean" and "make".

> The fix should be to add code to m4/general.m4 to distinguish 32-bit and

> please do that? I don't have the time.
