Follow-up Comment #1, sr #111161 (group libtool): Thank you for your bug submission.
Without immediate access to AIX, I reproduced this issue by removing the host
constraint for the macro in ltoptions.m4, by editing a test file to use
LT_INIT([aix-soname=svr4]), and by cleaning the testsuite's cache.
While this may be an incorrect assumption, autoconf is probably reordering
configure. It would be best to have the default set for variable
'enable_shared' before processing _LT_WITH_AIX_SONAME, but I am not sure how
best to implement that. The macro _LT_WITH_AIX_SONAME does not have a
dependency on any other macros being defined or called before processing, but
this does not seem like a good solution.
As a temporary "fix", I have attached a patch that will warn the user if
enable_shared has not been set. This patch also adds AC_MSG_CHECKING for
"which variant of shared library versioning to provide" to inform the user,
even if the default is set. LT_INIT with 'aix-soname=svr4' should work as
expected if 'shared' is supplied before it, like LT_INIT([shared
aix-soname=svr4]).
