Misdirected this email the first time around. We need a runtime (not compile
time) option in the main/released libtool branch to specify that only static
or only shared libraries should be built. The default behavior of building
both when a platform supports both is not usable on platforms like Wi
I've made some patches to libtool 1.3.3 (and now 1.3.5) for AIX that I'd
like to
contribute back. In brief:
AIX doesn't need the "lib" prefix
The -bexpall flag is not really usable for shared libraries; they will
tend to
export some private C runtime symbols as well, and then runtime
