Thanks for the links. It's disappointing there isn't a standard way to
do this. It's nice to see the comments in cpython's makeexp_aix script
explaining the "hidden tricks". I'd love to see similar comments in
mkldexport.sh explaining what it does. And also why the script is needed
on AIX in the first place.
I wonder if meson's AIX support would have something built-in to do this?
Meson appears to have AIX support, so it's worth trying out. If it's
working, then it would also be worth considering a meson-only AIX port,
which might be much simpler. Conversely, if it doesn't work at all, it
would need to be fixed. I don't think we'd want to accept a new port
that doesn't work with meson.
