This file lists what you need to do to get Mercury to work on an
RS/6000 running AIX using GNU C.
1. Put the following line in the file Mmake.params
EXTRA_CFLAGS=-mminimal-toc
This works around a fixed limit on the size of the TOC (Table of Contents)
in the RS/6000 object file format.
2. Change directory to the `compiler' directory, and run the command
sh ../scripts/rs6000_hack
This works around a fixed limit of 32k on the size of relative jumps
in the RS/6000 object file format.
3. Follow the instructions in the INSTALL file.
