g++ 2.95.2 and AIX 4.3.3 (linker: not a COFF file)

[Velayutharaja Sivakumar]

Hi,

I am having a problem during linking on a AIX 4.3.3 IBM machine, using
GNU 2.95.2 g++ compiler. The compiler doesnt seem to recognize big
format archives. I get a error message like
collect2: file.a: not a COFF file.
I saw in some other message threads that this problem has been fixed.
Can anyone let me know how to get around this problem

Thanks & Best Regards,
