Summary: AIX: wrong flags for ld when linking standard .so modules

Initial Comment:
The build process on my AIX 5.1 (using the native compiler suite) does not work for the standard .so modules (like _locale, unicodedata, fcntl, ...)

[..]
creating build/lib.hp-ux-B.11.00-9000-785-2.5
ld -b -L/usr/local/python/lib -Wl,+b,/usr/local/python/2.5/lib:/usr/local/ssl/lib,[...]-o build/lib.hp-ux-B.11.00-9000-785-2.5/_struct.sl
ld: Unrecognized argument: -Wl,+b[...]
ld: Usage:  ld [options] [flags] files

You can pass "-Wl,+b...." to the compiler, but for the linker, you have to drop the "-Wl,".

What's even worse: Even though "ld" aborts with an error, the build process ignories this.

I have to idea of where to start looking for the bug(s).

Bye,
Johannes
