$ We have recently acquired an IBMRT on which we run AIX 2.2.1
$ I have tried to install GNU 18.52 using the m-ibmrt-aix.h and
$ s-usg5-2-2.h files. I ran into the following problems:
$ 
$ 1. The optimiser pass of the C compiler crashed. Solution
$    remove the -O option
$ 
$ 2. The file hftctl.c was missing. Solution copy this file from
$    /usr/lib/samples/hft
$ 

I never trust the -O option for AIX's cc. I've had code that works
perfectly fine without -O, but doesn't with -O.

You're expected to use hftctl.c that comes with AIX. GNU can't
distribute it as it is copyrighted by IBM.

AIX 2.2.1 is the latest version of AIX.

I have GNU 18.52 running fine under AIX 2.2.
