The build failed. After gettext/gmp/... (in-tree hostlibs) get built
and added to library paths, further GCC processes fail to run:
configure:3305: gcc -g -static-libstdc++ -static-libgcc -Wl,-bbigtoc
conftest.c >&5
Could not load program /opt/freeware/libexec/gcc/powerpc-ibm-aix7.3.0.0/10/cc1:
Dependent module /home/arsen/build/./gmp/.libs/libgmp.a(libgmp.so.10)
could not be loaded.
Member libgmp.so.10 is not found in archive
This seems odd. I am not sure what compels the RTDL (?) to look up .sos
in archives, or how it knows about these archives.. I suspect it's
getting tripped by something in HOST_EXPORTS.
