the only part I've heard about where run-time linking doesn't always work is when two pieces of code implement the same symbol, since there is a flat namespace... traditional AIX dynamic linking is two-level namespace, where for each symbol the binary indicates which library will resolve it
I wish it was also reporting this kind of problems. Normally the loader on AIX just silently bails out :( Luckily I don't use AIX for quite a few years already, it was always a pain to build anything at all.
I think you get to find out about your DSO picking up the wrong function of multiple with the same name by it behaving strangely :) As far as the usual missing symbol problem, where dlerror() (or whatever it is) doesn't provide info, try http://www.apache.org/~trawick/cantloaddso.pl
