> When building on AIX5.3 ML04 (powerpc_power5, 64 bit), it seems only the static libraries are built. This seems true with either xlc (8.x) or gcc (3.3.2). Everything works, there are just no ./lib/*.so at the end of the process.

IIRC, on AIX the .a files actually are shared libraries. You don't need
anything named .so. Check the -hackers and -patches archives from back
around mid-Sept 2006 for details.
