--- Comment #16 from David Edelsohn <dje at gcc dot gnu.org> 2012-03-28 12:29:29 UTC --- Symbolic linking or hard linking libNAME.so.1 to libNAME.so doesn't work? I seem to remember something strange about the way AIX loader followed symbolic links. For versioning one can use libNAME.1.so or libNAME-1.so -- as long as ".so" is the file extension.
