Problems compiling GMP on AIX 5.3 in 32 bit mode

[Alexander Hartmann]

Hi all!

I don't know whether my problem is a bug or "wrong handling" (and therefore this is the correct mailing list, please forgive me if I am using the wrong list). 

I am trying to compile GMP 4.2.1 on AIX 5.3 in 32 bit mode using
./configure ABI=32
I am using gcc 4.1.1 (I also tried the IBM xlc (vac Version 8), the same problem occurs).

After configure, make fails with the following output : 

make[2]: Entering directory `/home/aha/gmp-4.2.1/mpn'
/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -D__GMP_WITHIN_GMP -I.. -DOPERATION_`echo fib_table | sed 's/_$//'`    -O2 -mpowerpc -c -o fib_table.lo fib_table.c

In the manual (for PowerPC) I only found the 3 options: 
ABI=aix64
ABI=mode32 
ABI=32

mode32 is not working, configure complains : 
configure: error: ABI=mode32 is not among the following valid choices: aix64 32

Can anyone please help? 

Thanks in advance.
