Yesterday, I've patched the mod_perl 2.0 build code to build on aix (tested on powerpc/aix/5.1). The interesting thing that I haven't used .exp's at all (neither -lapr/-laprutil/etc). I've used -berok and -brtl and let everything to be resolved at the startup time. This seems to work just fine, since by the time mod_perl boots, httpd/apr/aprutil are all loaded in memory.
Do you think this will work on other aix versions/platforms?
I think so (at least 4.3 and above)
you do have run-time linking enabled, right? using the APR ldflags (like apxs does) will get that turned on
