@bnoordhuis Do you know how make/gmake decides which C compiler to use?
I know you can use export CC=`which gcc`
export CXX=`which g++`but if there's an easy way to set defaults then that'd be useful. |

AIX user space defaults to 32 bit. IBM XLC compiler on AIX defaults to 32 bit. For compatibility, 32 bit remains the default on AIX for GCC. GCC had been defining PPC on AIX. In 64 bit mode (-maix64), GCC added definitions of PPC64 and powerpc64 for compatibility with Linux on Power starting with release GCC 6. |

@gibfahn: regarding gcc detection: https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/configure#L14..L17 |

@gibfahn isn't cc symlinked to gcc on aix? |

@jbergstroem Yep, that configure step works fine, however those variables don't seem to be passed on to the make command. I don't think I'm pretty sure we're specifying |

Hm. Might be a Gyp issue |

The ./configure python script searches `gcc -dM -E -` for the ARCH flags. On AIX, gcc builds in 32 bit mode by default prior to gcc v6, so you don't get the __PPC64__ flag unless you run `gcc -maix64 -dM -E -`. We don't support ppc 32 bit for any OS, so always use ppc64 as the host_arch. PR-URL: nodejs#9645 Reviewed-By: Michael Dawson <[email protected]> Reviewed-By: James M Snell <[email protected]>

Description of change
The ./configure python script searches
gcc -dM -E -for the ARCHflags. On AIX, gcc builds in 32 bit mode by default prior to gcc v6, so
you don't get the flag unless you run
gcc -maix64 -dM -E -.We don't support ppc 32 bit for any OS, so always use ppc64 as the
host_arch.
