Linker questions

[Dave]

I don't run AIX, but are looking to find out what flags would be used to
build a shared library on AIX.

1) Do most people use the GNU linker, or IBM's linker?
2) Can someone post the output of 'man ld'
3) Does anyone know the IBM linkers equivalent of these GNU linker flags

-shared
-soname
--whole-archive
--no-whole-archive

On Solaris, these would be -G, -h, -zallextract and -zdefaultextract
respectively.

If you could help, I'd appreciate.

Just a bit of my effort to reduce GNUims in software!

go to
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/pseries/v5r3/index.jsp
Here you can search for "ld" to get the ld man page and
"creating a shared library" to get the information how to
create a shared library.
