Seems reasonable.  Does the test suite still pass with this patch?

~        * ltconfig.in (aix4*): check for reworked collect2, always pass
~        -bnoentry option to linker when building a shared library

Googling for -bnoentry and Andrey Slepuhin doesn't help much either.  Is
- -bnoentry required for dlopenable libraries on aix4*?
