Yes, AIX supports shared libraries, and yes they all end in the same
extension that the static libs do. Not only is this a classically
stupid approach, it doesn't even work. Perl croaks on AIX shared libs,
and I don't blame it. They suck.

I believe the flag you're looking for is "-bM\:SRE". But it won't do
any good if E is looking for lib*.so, since even the shared libs will
be called lib*.a on AIX.
