Yes I use Libtool. But I'm not that familar with libtool, that I can quickly 
prepare a small test case.

Normally I use linux for development, but currently I have the chance to try 
AIX. I just unpacked my dist-package and build it. The library in question is 
cxxtools (http://www.tntnet.org/cxxtools.hms). I think, it is more or less a 
simple case.

I try to find time to build other similar c++-libraries on AIX.
