You did not specify which version of libtool you are using.  The
current release (1.5) version of libtool appears to work for AIX 5.1.
I am using the current CVS version successfully for AIX.

My configure scrip assigns CC=xlc_r for multi-thread builds under AIX.
This assignment is before libtool is configured.  The approach seems
to work fine.
