Re: AIX developer access or hardware to run AIX (Europe)

I would be very worried about paying for a service to an organisation
that makes this kind of mistake. There is no POWER hardware that will
support or even run AIX 5.3 and either AIX v3.2 or v4.1 at the same
time (http://www-132.ibm.com/content/misc_includes/en_US/pdf/AIX-
Compatibility-Nutshell.pdf).
The point is that the machine is running AIX 5.3 or AIX 6.1 thus there
is no running AIX 3.2/4.x or what soever but it should IMHO be
possible to copy a complete aix v3.2 backup into a directory ( like /
os/aix32 ) on the machine running AIX 5.3. If you do now a chroot into
this directory ( like chroot /os/aix32 ) you have now the aix 3.2
environment. Of cource you still running AIX 5.3 but if you start your
compiler within the chroot environment it should pick up the v3.2
libraries.
Thus the task is to have a aix v3.2 build/compile environment on a AIX
5.3 machine.

Example:
(0)root@one:/home/meta/tmp
602$ oslevel -r
5300-07
(0)root@one:/home/meta/tmp
603$ chroot ./aix51 /usr/bin/ksh
(0)root@one/
282$ oslevel -r
5100-09


Thus you are building v3.2 software which should run on the current
machine as well as on any machine still running aix v3.2.
A test for helloworld.c failed for the vac compiler but was
successfull for the GCC.
