[issue37690] Simplify linking of shared libraries on the AIX OS

Eric N. Vander Weele added the comment: Thanks for the in-depth responses and feedback. When reinvestigating this in more detail that led me to create this patch, I discovered that the premise upon which I was operating upon was not the default (desired) compiler and linker flags. It turns

Michael Felt added the comment: David gives several reasons why this PR should not be used. And, in reading them - while I follow them at face value, there may be things I miss due to ignorance or being naive (more the system admin than tool developer). Isn't there an configure --enable-sha
