gnustep-base build fails on HP-UX 11.23 (both ia64 and pa)

[Rashmi Hegde]

I am trying to compile gnustep-base 1.12.0/1.13.0 with binutils 2.14, gcc 3.4.6 , ffcall 1.8 ,GNU Make 3.80

binutils and gcc are built with native HP ANSI C compiler.
and gnustep-make with with this gcc
The platform is HPUX 11.23 June 2006 update.

The gnustep-base build fails as follows on pa-risc machine

The build goes through with gcc 3.3.x line on both pa and ipf.

The build is successful on 11.11 with gcc 3.4.6, what I saw was that the machine specific header files /usr/include/machine/sys/*.h are not present in 11.11 machine.

any pointers ?

Wow - old compiler.

Have you tried the gcc 4 stream? There are lots of improvements.
