Well, that one is an experiment. Someone suggested it for AIX "and
everything else", and I wrote comments on how I thought the different
variables should be defined on different platforms, and intended to do
more experiments with that later. Well, I eventually did experiment,
resulting in Makefile.shared in 0.9.8-dev. I haven't touched the
stuff in 0.9.7 because it supposedly worked...

aix-cc is a minimum safety net, that's correct.

-bautoexp? How long has that thing existed? And we can't get rid of
it for the sake of older AIX that don't have autoexp...
