RE: AIX patch for libtool.m4

[Boehne, Robert]

Albert,

This patch only effects SYSV libraries, which I have not found
any problems with.  1.5 & current CVS pass all 105 tests with xlC/xlc/xlf
when LDFLAGS=-Wl,-brtl and I haven't seen a report that suggests
that anything is broken.  Without LDFLAGS=-Wl,-brtl -qmkshrobj is used
but AIX style library support isn't 100% complete.  It seems to be
good enough that nobody has complained about the 5% left to do yet.

HTH,

Robert

Wel, to get xlC C++ support for AIX, we're going to need -qmkshrobj.
I'm going to work on adding it this weekend. By default, -qmkshrobj
will export all symbols. We create our own export list for xlc C
shared libraries. Do we want to create our own export list for xlc C++
shared libraries as well?
