I have heard from others on the modperl list that they got it running,
there was indeed a patch to the modperl build procedure for gcc/AIX
recently that got it working for at least one person.
As I do not use gcc on AIX, I have no idea if this is related to gcc. I
have the IBM C compiler, and it produces excellent code, so no reason
for me to use gcc.

Shared C libraries can be build independent uponn compiler using the ld
command, so no problem here I suppose. The only standing issue is that
gcc does not know automatically which options to pass to the linker, so
build procedures for AIX that were designed for the IBM C compiler need
tweaking with -Xlinker options for any -b* options.
Shared C++ libraries cannot be build that easily, and the IBM C compiler
has a script to do that. I have no idea how that works with g++.
