No objection to doing this but just to repeat again that the spec does not not 
require that warnings are de-duplicated. This means the change is not 
necessary, only happens the case where someone is loading the same agent 
dynamically many times into a VM running on AIX, it just means there will be 
one rather than N warnings in the logs.

How are dev_t and ino_t defined on AIX, I'm wondering if long is okay here.
