20 This is interesting: I've built openssh-5.5_p1-r2 just fine here
21 on both AIX 5.3 and 6.1, however without any USE-flags.

27 Good to know: I've just found a problem with zlib, which is built without
28 SONAME emulation again. Fixing this will break binaries linked against
29 libz.so, so you'll best start over once I've sorted it out.
30
31 Additionally, I'd like to add some help into ld-wrapper to get at least
32 some chance for a workaround to drop the technical need to always start
33 over in such cases.
34
35 I'll tell again once this is done.
36
37 Remember to self: It still has to be discussed with libtool upstream which
38 variant of SONAME emulation to finally choose, also to report consistent
39 aix-patches to upstreams of packages not using libtool (like zlib).
