So based on this error message, do I also need to deploy the Standard
library (libstd12s_rw.a)? Does this not defeat the purpose of a static
library?
Yes. We've been using the -qmkshrobj compiler flag to prelink library
object files (i.e., to generate code for template specializations used
in the library sources). The side-effect of using this option is that
it results in the archiver producing an AIX shared archive rather an
ordinary one. Shared archives must be deployed just like shared
libraries do.
Rebuilding the library with a recent version of XLC++ and without the
-qmkshrobj option should let you produce an ordinary archive that could
be used to link self-contained programs (it appears to with 8.0).
Earlier versions of VisualAge might be problematic (likely due to the
tempinc model).
Could you please file an issue to have this fixed?
