Jarkko Hietaniemi [Wed, 14 Jul 1999 21:59:11 +0000]
Fixed AIX dynamic loading and AIX shared Perl library.
Tested in: AIX 4.1.5 cc+useshrplib+usethreads, 4.1.5 cc,
4.1.5 gcc+useshrplib+usethreads, 4.3.1 cc+useshrplib.
Hijacked win32/makedef.pl for more general purpose export
list building, now it is used (as toplevel makedef.pl)
for win32 and AIX (perl_exp.SH made unnecessary).
Because the export lists are now correct in AIX, no more linker
warnings about "Exported symbol not defined" should appear.
