compiling gnupg-1.0.3 on our AIX 4.2.1

[Charles Yuan]

Hi Brian,

Thank you so much for your quick response.

We have tried to install version 1.0.4 on our system using AIX C compiler
(xlC) that you suggested on your email.

We found that both gcc and xlC can compile some assembly programs, such as
mpih-add1.s and mpih-sub1.s, but fail to get following assembly programs
working:

mpih-lshift.s
mpih-mul1.s
mpih-mul2.s
mpih-mul3.s
mpih-rshift.s

A few questions:
1. Could you tell me if there is any free assembler for AIX 4.2.1 for
download?
2. Is there any objective files compiled from AIX v4.2.1 available for
download?

Kind regards,

Charles
