RE: [Devel] fix for aix4.3.3 build problem

[Ian Brown]

Needed yet another fix to the configure script to get aix4.3.3 really working. The problem was the AR was being passed $objdir, when it should be $output_objdir. The former is a relative path, and we need an absolute path.

From line 5612, my builds/configure script now looks as follows (and works fully on aix4.3.3, gcc3.0.4)

      else
        hardcode_libdir_flag_spec='${wl}-bnolibpath ${wl}-blibpath:$libdir:/usr/lib:/lib'
        # Warning - without using the other run time loading flags, -berok will
        #           link without error, but may produce a broken library.
        allow_undefined_flag='${wl}-berok'
        # This is a bit strange, but is similar to how AIX traditionally builds
        # it's shared libraries.
        archive_expsym_cmds="\$CC $shared_flag"' -o $output_objdir/$soname $libobjs $deplibs $compiler_flags ${allow_undefined_flag} '"\${wl}$no_entry_flag \${wl}$exp_sym_flag:\$export_symbols"' ~$AR -crlo $output_objdir/$libname$release.a $output_objdir/$soname'

Subject: [Devel] fix for aix4.3.3 build problem

I've finally fixed the build problem with aix 4.3.3, the configure script
has an error.

The problem is in line 5616 of configure. The line was

allow_undefined_flag='${wl}-berok"

so it has an unmatched ' which actually gets matched by the ' in the comment
2 lines later.
To fix it, the line needs changing to:

allow_undefined_flag='${wl}-berok'

I expect the actual fix will need to be made to the autoconf sources, but
someone else will need to figure out where because my autoconf knowledge is
almost zero.
