Hi,
 I don't use AIX that often and therefore am a bit out of my league, I guess. I downloaded the GDB 6.8 source tarball, extracted it and ran configure without any problems (./configure --prefix=/<myhomeDIR>/gdb/build)

Then I run gmake and it runs for a long while but eventually fails trying to create a 'doc' directory.

here is the output I get:

> gmake

...

configure: configuring in doc
configure: running /bin/sh '../.././gdb/doc/configure' --prefix=/net/bosnetapp/vol/vol0/home1/jamarsha/aix/build  '--cache-file=./config.cache' '--prefix=/net/bosnetapp/vol/vol0/home1/jamarsha/aix/build' '--program-transform-name=s,y,y,' '--build=powerpc-ibm-aix5.2.0.0' '--host=powerpc-ibm-aix5.2.0.0' '--target=powerpc-ibm-aix5.2.0.0' '--srcdir=.././gdb' 'CC=gcc' 'CFLAGS=-g -O2' 'LDFLAGS=-Wl,-bbigtoc' 'build_alias=powerpc-ibm-aix5.2.0.0' 'host_alias=powerpc-ibm-aix5.2.0.0' 'target_alias=powerpc-ibm-aix5.2.0.0' --cache-file=.././config.cache --srcdir=../.././gdb/doc
/net/bosnetapp/vol/vol0/home1/jamarsha/aix/gdb-6.8/gdb/configure[26859]: /bin/sh: arg list too long
configure: error: /bin/sh '../.././gdb/doc/configure' failed for doc
gmake[1]: *** [configure-gdb] Error 1
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/net/bosnetapp/vol/vol0/home1/jamarsha/aix/gdb-6.8'
gmake: *** [all] Error 2


I have gmake 3.80, gcc 3.4.3. This is an AIX 5.2 machine. autoconf is 2.59, makeinfo 4.12


Thoughts?
