Shared C++ libraries on AIX

[Martin Frydl]

Hello,

  I'm having trouble when trying to built shared C++ libraries on AIX 
4.3 with libtool 1.4.2 and also 1.4d. I'm using IBM C/C++ compiler 3.6.6.

  The first problem is nm utility. Libtool lists public symbols in all 
.o files and creates export file from them. However, "nm -B" on AIX by 
default demangles all C++ identifiers and therefore these are not listed 
in export file. Extra option -C must be added to force nm not to 
demangle C++.

  Second problem is with linking itself. Libtool passes -lc to linker 
but -lC (or -lC_r for reentrant version) should be used. When not used, 
link passes without problems but later when library invokes new 
operator, core dump occurs.

  Are there any suggestions regarding these issues?

  Thanks
    Martin
