Thank you!

Well, as long as the old sharedlibs were not created as standalone shared
objects (lib.so), this is similar to a normal "soname"-bump on AIX, in that
it is still possible for the package manager to transfer the old shared
objects (with F_LOADONLY flag set) into the new archives.
As far as I can see, gcc does not provide this libtool-option (environment
variable LDFLAGS=-brtl) at all for its libraries (for good reason).

Yes, of course.

Here's the updated patch.
Thank you!

Subject: [PATCH] AIX: Filename-based shlib versioning for libgcc_s
2012-11-05 Michael Haubenwallner <michael.haubenwall...@salomon.at>
(libgcc_s) Optional filename-based shared library versioning on AIX.
* gcc/doc/install.texi: Add --enable-aix-soname option.
* Makefile.in (enable_aix_soname): Define.
* config/rs6000/t-slibgcc-aix: Implement filename-based versioning.
* configure.in: Accept --enable-aix-soname option.
* configure: Recreate.

+# Build a shared libgcc library, with optional filename-based versioning:

+# To get a different *filename* used at runtime than at linktime, instead of
+# the Shared Object we need to give an Import File to the linker, which allows
+# to define a different filename for runtime.
+#
+# Packing both the Import File and the Shared Object into one archive file

+# having the unversioned library name as symlink to the versioned one, while
+# still keeping the AIX specific multilib variant of having both 32bit and
+# 64bit Shared Objects within one archive file possible, even if we do not
+# create such libraries (yet?).
+#
+# However, static linking of Shared Objects via an Import File does not work.
+# So as long as a library needs to be statically linkable, we want to use .so
+# as extension for the unversioned symlink, even if that will be used with
+# runtime-linking enabled (-brtl or -G linker flag) only.
+#
+# But as libgcc_s never is statically linked anyway, we can create libgcc_s.a
+# as symlink to libgcc_s.so.1 too (rendering the use of the .so extension as
