RE: better support for AIX 5.1

[Boehne, Robert]

Jim,

Please repost the patch in unidiff format, against current CVS libtool
if possible.  If you're not sure about patch format see
http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/contribute.html

Thanks,

Robert

Subject: better support for AIX 5.1 


Attached is a patch to the current cvs of libtool which I believe 
provides improved support for the AIX 5.1 OS and for AIX style shared 
libraries using native compilers.  The patch contains changes for files 
libtool.m4 and ltmain.in.

It builds both AIX style and SYSV style libraries by default.
It does not require a special case for run time link support thus the 
size of libtool.m4 is reduced by about 82 lines.

It provides support for the 64-bit ABI on AIX5

You should be able to test all the changes except the 64-bit support on 
an AIX4.3.3 system.  I've spent some time writing and testing this patch 
- I do hope that you will give it more than passing consideration.  I 
would be glad to address any concerns that you have, especially with 
respect to the libtool tests which still fail and how they might be 
addressed.
