RE: AIX patch for libtool.m4

[Boehne, Robert]

The only thing I was aware of is that archive members can't
be dlopen'd by libltdl because the right flags aren't passed.

BTW, would you post a link or reference to why -qmkshrobj is needed
with templates when building SYSV-style libraries?  I wasn't aware
of any problems with templates.

I think the only thing lacking is xlC support. Of course, there's also
32/64-bit support but there's a workaround for that. What else are you
working on?
