Ideally, we'd be able to do shared library building on AIX with latest stable
vanilla libtool and have things just work like on any other platform. But this
isn't the case on AIX (yet), perhaps related to AIX linking peculiarities, our
broken library layering, a symbol clash or a combination of even more things.
Ideally, you could track it down, fix it yourself and submit the patch. :-)

Do you have the IBM xlc compiler available?
What level of AIX experience do you have?
How motivated are you to get this working?
