[Reshma (Reshma Kumar)]

We are building ruby 2.6.3(both 32 and 64bit) on AIX 6.1.
The build options used for 64bit build are:-
export LDFLAGS="-L/opt/freeware/lib64 -L/opt/freeware/lib -Wl,-blibpath:/opt/freeware/lib64:/usr/lib:/lib"
and for 32bit build are:-
export LDFLAGS="-L/opt/freeware/lib -Wl,-blibpath:/opt/freeware/lib:/usr/lib:/lib -Wl,-bmaxdata:0x80000000"

The testcase fails with the following error for 64bit whereas it passes for 32bit

$ ./miniruby -I./lib -I. -I.ext/common ./tool/runruby.rb --extout=.ext -- --disable-gems "./basictest/runner.rb" --run-opt=--disable-gems

Any idea what is the issue?

[Reshma (Reshma Kumar)]

I couldn't resolve this issue. Any updates?

[jeremyevans0 (Jeremy Evans)]

Does this issue still occur with the master branch? Does it occur with a supported version of AIX? AIX 6.1 went out of support in April 2017 (https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/aix-support-lifecycle-information), so unless this is still an issue in a supported version of AIX, I think we should close this.

[headius (Charles Nutter)]

A note just from poking around here... I'm guessing this is due to the reporter's system using a filesystem encoding that uses wide characters, and the Ruby version tested is not handling it well. This issue against Python's pip seems similar:

https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/10858

I know that CRuby has in the past had some bugs around peculiar or non-standard filesystem encodings, like UTF-16 with its wide characters. This may be fixed in more recent versions, but as @jeremyevans0 (Jeremy Evans) points out we're pretty far past the AIX freshness date and I would not know how to even confirm this bug, much less fix it if still broken.
