BTW, are you sure about 'ld -r' never needing any '-z allextract' or
whatever turns the local ld on? The reason I ask is that you provided
the do_aix-shared target that's present in 0.9.7. No, I honestly
don't recall if I did a lot of hacking into whatever you contributed
or not, but I thought you said it looked OK. In that case, I'd take a
closer look at the ALLSYMSFLAG example for Solaris. Is that one
correct or not? What about the other platforms, are they correct as
well?
Note that for 0.9.7, I don't care since that method is used
exclusively used for AIX and none else. 0.9.8-dev is another story,
however, since I simply looked at do_aix-shared and generalised it
further (to the point of having a general Makefile that should be
possible to use for any library on any of the supported platforms).
I know Andy is looking, but I also know his time is short, so if you
have the time and inclination to help, please take a look at
Makefile.shared in 0.9.8-dev. If you have any question, please ask.
