AIX issues

AIX-related issue from Apache project which can be useful for us.

On AIX, shared objects once loaded remain loaded even after the use
count is decremented to zero. Thus, standard practice is to rm -f a
library before relinking or copying over it. But libtool doesn't do that
for us and neither does the Apache build, resulting in a pain in the
behind when doing make install. Hopefully libtool can be tweaked?
Recommended work-around:

Manually remove files in prefix/lib before make install.

Alternately, run /usr/sbin/slibclean as root.

Regards,
Victor
