A test for helloworld.c failed for the vac compiler but was
successfull for the GCC.

I know someone who was trying to get this to work with 5.3 for 5.2 and
5.1 chroot environments .. he had it working for different levels of
Linux kernel with no issues, he struggled for weeks trying to get it
to build using the IBM compilers (( not using gcc )) but could not get
it working .. if you do have a break through then I would be very
interested in how you done it ..

- Restore a mksysb of an AIX 5.1 machine which had already an vacpp v6
installed to a given subdirectory.

In the chroot env you can add and remove software since all ODM
information is available.

- point the link for vac.cfg to vac.cfg.43
[chroot] cd /etc/ ln -fs vac.cfg.43 vac.cfg
and changed the last line to 5.3 since the c-compiler determines even
in the chroot environment that it is running on a AIX 5.3 hosts.

$ cc
helloworld.c
cc: 1501-224 fatal error in /usr/vac/exe/xlcentry: signal 4 received

thus i replace the /usr/vac/exe/xlcentry v6 with the one installed on
the core system ( v8)

Now the xlCcode crashes
$ cc
helloworld.c
cc: 1501-224 fatal error in /usr/vac/exe/xlCcode: signal 4 received

thus i replaced the /usr/vac/exe/xlCcode v6 with the one installed on
the core system ( v8)

Now at least a hello world works.

In the change root environment a
$ what
a.out
a.out:
61 1.14 src/bos/usr/ccs/lib/libc/__threads_init.c,
libcthrd, bos510 7/11/00 12:04:14


It might easier with the older C compiler because afaik they do not
use iFOR/LS license stuff.
