I think IBM recommends the rtl method...
I attach a short paper from IBM to this mail - "linking102".

The baseline from this paper is:

* build shared modules with -G or "-brtl -bnortllib -bnosymbolic -berok 
-bM:SRE" (which is the same)
* build the app with -brtl

I can check gcc/g++. Unfortunately I do not have Fortran installed.
Maybe I can try a build test with IBM xlf 5.x (very old version) but 
this is a bit complicated as I only have very limited access to this 
machine.
