+* On AIX, executables using the :prop_tgt:`ENABLE_EXPORTS` target property
+ now produce a linker import file with a ``.imp`` extension in addition
+ to the executable file. Plugins (created via :command:`add_library` with
+ the ``MODULE`` option) that use :command:`target_link_libraries` to link
+ to the executable for its symbols are now linked using the import file.
+ The :command:`install(TARGETS)` command now installs the import file as
+ an ``ARCHIVE`` artifact.
+
+* On AIX, runtime linking is no longer enabled by default. CMake provides
+ the linker enough information to resolve all symbols up front.
+ One may manually enable runtime linking for shared libraries and/or
+ loadable modules by adding ``-Wl,-G`` to their link flags
+ (e.g. in the :variable:`CMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS` or
+ :variable:`CMAKE_MODULE_LINKER_FLAGS` variable).
+ One may manually enable runtime linking for executables by adding
+ ``-Wl,-brtl`` to their link flags (e.g. in the
+ :variable:`CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS` variable).
