My quote was probably misleading. Quoted statement proceeded as 'someone
suggested it for AIX "and everything else"' and I wondered if it was for
"everything else," then how would AIX specific flags cover for it.

OK. As for .exp. If we choose to keep it, I'd at least move
-bE:lib$$i.exp inside the rule, next to nm, e.g.:
...
( nm -Pg lib$$i.o | grep ' [BD] ' | cut -f1 -d' ' > lib$$i.exp && \
SHAREDFLAGS="${SHAREDFLAGS} -bE:lib$$i.exp && "
...
or something similar.

I have no access to AIX system. As for manual pages, google pointed out
http://www.itc.virginia.edu/desktop/cgi-dtc/manpage.cgi. A.
