For example GCC on AIX defaults -to 32 bit, and to enable the 64 bit ABI one can use: -./configure CFLAGS=-maix64 LDFLAGs=-maix64 AR='ar -X64' +Although 32-bit builds fail if that forces time_t to be 32 bits, this +can be fixed by using 64-bit builds. For example, on AIX where GCC +defaults to 32 bits, one can use "./configure CC='gcc -maix64' AR='ar +-X64'"; similarly, on Solaris one can configure with CC='gcc -m64'. +If all else fails one can configure with ac_year2038_required=no; +however, this will mishandle timestamps after 2038, and please file +bug reports for any such situations. ************************************************* |
