1 Hi haubi,

3 I have tested the new soname linking scheme on AIX 5.2, bootstrapped with
4 the help of old Prefix(nearly 150 days old) from scratch.

6 This is realy fantastic! I suppose this is the best practice for soname
7 under AIX, and best mimics the behavior of runtime linking of GNU monolith.
8 Everything essential is emerged so smooth that I couldn't even believe
9 myself using AIX! The only two issues I encounter were bug
10 378915<https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=378915>and bug 378905.

12 You are creating a marvel, Micheal. Thanks a ton!

14 BTW, Perry, give it a try. It worths.
