E.g., --target=arm-eabi. Yes, it works. This confirms that default disable of ppc sim would fix (=workaround) the AIX build. > This is all arguable.

Often I'll just run a .o > file with a sim. E.g., on gcc110/ppc64, gdb built w/ -m32: If one has to use .o file I really still find it useless. The patch does not remove the simulator - it is just not built by default. As I believe 99% of './configure; make' users do not want the simulator. And building any more code is moreover slow on ppc. Joel also claims they use the ppc simulator so I no longer argue about it. Therefore considering the patch as cancelled. Regards, Jan
