11 Right you are. Personally I'm not happy at all with this. You could
12 consider yourself to be a too early adoptor. Anyway, I think this is
13 haubi's "dynamic libraries" stuff and a Portage version that is not
14 expecting that (.a files being "dynamic" instead of static). We really
15 need haubi here so I can properly adapt Portage for that in the correct
16 way, assuming I'm not mistaken at this point.

18 That said, I'm sorry that you have to hit so many problems. The AIX
19 port simply isn't ready yet, and our manpower is limited. If you want
20 to just continue, you could try to apply the attached patch to
21 $EPREFIX/usr/lib/portage/bin/misc-functions.sh. That's the best I can
22 do for you now, sorry!
