gmake fails immediately in PASE - gcc

Question

I'm a security officer on this iSeries, using PASE (Portable Application Security Environment -- essentially a virtual AIX-like sandbox on OS/400) to compile Ghostscript 9.05. I've downloaded and installed RPM for AIX in my PASE environment, and then used the RPMs for gcc (gcc-4.0.0-1.aix5.3.ppc) and the rest of a standard GNU dev environment to install them on PASE, as well. Configure works fine (within /QOpenSys/usr/bin/-sh, I use CALL QP2TERM to get there), but when I then attempt gmake (make defaults to cc instead of gcc here), it fails immediately with:
$ pwd
/QOpenSys/download/ghostscript-9.05/ghostscript-9.05
$ gmake
Makefile:1: *** missing separator. Stop.
I read the previous question on this, and purged my Makefile.in of comments and ran it through cat -vet Makefile.in. Results are included below; they look fine to me, but I still receive the error above. (Note that this was pulled from a 5250 emulator session; line breaks in the display do not correlate with Makefile.in line breaks, which are shown as a $ instead):

Answer 1

Figured this out. Full details and steps to reproduce are here: http://hewhocutsdown.net/blog/2012/04/25/how-to-compile-ghostscript-for-pase/
It came down to three items:
Using gcc 4.2.0 instead of older versions.
Running configure with the –build=”powerpc-ibmaix5.3.0.0” option.
Apply an AIX-specific patch to opj_malloc.h (an OpenJPEG libray), patch here: http://openjpeg.googlecode.com/issues/attachment?aid=1390001000&name=Issue_139-AIX-memalign.patch&token=fTYKtT77eCQohWNtP2epWWxP2xQ%3A1335385237594

Answer 2

gmake most likely does not do any character conversion, so it just reads raw EBCDIC.
Check the CCSID on the IFS file is 819.
(My usual trick for creating an empty file is touch -C 819 file. Also if at all possible compile on native AIX)

Answer 3

What's the value of the environment variable BUILDDIRPREFIX? Should it end with a '/'?
