I just checked the latest libtool 1.x (1.5.26) which only has aix[4-9] patterns, nothing aix5 specific. Another source of trouble could be autoconf (e.g. config.guess) and automake. Recent versions (2.64 resp. 1.10.2) seem to respect AIX 6 in their script. I don't have an AIX system at hand at the moment, but last time I build on AIX 6.1 I was astonished, that they used .a as a suffix for shared libs. They have two types of shared libs, depending on when symbol resolution is done. My notes tell me, that at that time I changed the contents of libtool in the following way: hardcode_action=immediate -> hardcode_action=relink hardcode_direct=yes -> hardcode_direct=no hardcode_minus_L=no -> hardcode_minus_L=yes I don't remember whether that was actually necessary.
