Michael Haubenwallner: With a little help from my friend, the native-cctools wrapping ld to support '-soname' flag on AIX, we can provide full soname support there (#213277). However, this patch is not for upstream, as they cannot rely on that ld wrapper: They would have to do the aix-soname magic themself instead. --- a/support/shobj-conf 2011-02-08 11:53:20 +0100 +++ b/support/shobj-conf 2011-02-08 11:57:14 +0100 @@ -269,7 +269,7 @@ SHOBJ_LDFLAGS='-bdynamic -bnoentry -bexpfull' SHOBJ_XLDFLAGS='-G' - SHLIB_XLDFLAGS='-bM:SRE' + SHLIB_XLDFLAGS='-bM:SRE -soname `basename $@ $(SHLIB_MINOR)`' SHLIB_LIBS='-lcurses -lc' SHLIB_LIBVERSION='$(SHLIB_LIBSUFF).$(SHLIB_MAJOR)' ;;
