If this error occurs during stage2 or later, then the problem most likely
is the version of Make (see above).
-The GNU Assembler incorrectly reports that it supports WEAK symbols on
-AIX which causes GCC to try to utilize weak symbol functionality although
-it is not supported on the platform. The native @command{as} and
-@command{ld} still are recommended. The native AIX tools do
-interoperate with GCC@.
+The native @command{as} and @command{ld} are recommended for bootstrapping
+on AIX 4 and required for bootstrapping on AIX 5L. The GNU Assembler
+reports that it supports WEAK symbols on AIX 4, which causes GCC to try to
+utilize weak symbol functionality although it is not supported. The GNU
+Assembler and Linker do not support AIX 5L sufficiently to bootstrap GCC.

Building @file{libstdc++.a} requires a fix for an AIX Assembler bug
APAR IY26685 (AIX 4.3) or APAR IY25528 (AIX 5.1).
