I'm looking a bit at building shared libraries on AIX, and would like
to know if there is a way at all to just tell ld to extract everything
from a static library (libcrypto.a), put it in a shared library
(libcrypto.a) and export all available global symbols?
I know it's possible to create an exported symbols file (libcrypto.exp?)
and use that, but I'd like to avoid that if possible, it feels like a
very unneeded step, and full of possibilities to make a fool out of
yourself (by forgetting).
On all other Unixen I've played with, there's the possibility to do
what I want to do (hence the diverse do_*-shared targets in
Makefile.org), and I just can't believe such a thing wouldn't be
possible on AIX...
Then perhaps, I'm just too optimistic...
