Hi,

I'm trying to compile emacs 64 bits on AIX 7.1 .


Versions tools used:


gcc-cpp-6.2.0-1
libgcc-6.2.0-1
gcc-6.2.0-1
binutils-2.25.1-2
glib2-2.48.1-1
glib2-devel-2.48.1-1
libstdc++-6.2.0-1
gmp-6.1.1-1
gmp-devel-6.1.1-1

I configured environment variables like this:

export CPPFLAGS=" -I/opt/freeware/include -I/usr/include -maix64"
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib64 -L/opt/freeware/lib64 -maix64"
export CFLAGS=" -I/opt/freeware/include -I/usr/include -maix64"
export OBJECT_MODE=64

Then I did this:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/emacs --with-jpeg=no --with-png=no --with-gif=no --with-tiff=no --with-x=no

It went without any issues and I launched gmake:

temacs binary runs well but when I tries to create a emacs binary file it fails with this error message:

Dumping under the name emacs
unexec: couldn't find "ÂEURÃ
                          " section

It seems to be coming from unexaix.c, line  248:

    if (f_thdr == 0)
        {
          ERROR1 ("unexec: couldn't find \"%s\" section", (int) _TEXT);
        }

Thank you
