Re: [PATCH] Fix GNU nm invocation for AIX

Hi Ralf,

Can I just ping this?

To recap, the aim of the submission was to get binutils on AIX as good
as native tools on AIX.  I think I've done that.  It'd be nice if we had
zero libtool failures for native tools to begin with, but I'm afraid
I really don't have time to work on that myself.
