+#   FILE:           ld_so_aix
+#   TYPE:           executable, uses makexp_aix
+#   SYSTEM:         AIX
+#
+#   DESCRIPTION:    Creates a shareable .o from a set of pre-compiled 
+#                   (unshared) .o files
+#
+#   USAGE:          ld_so_aix [CC] [arguments]
+#
+#   ARGUMENTS:      Same as for "ld". The following arguments are processed
+#                   or supplied by this script (those marked with an asterisk
+#                   can be overriden from command line):
+#
+#                       Argument                     Default value
+#                   (*) -o [OutputFileName]          -o shr.o
+#                   (*) -e [EntryPointLabel]         -e init[OutputBaseName]
+#                   (*) -bE:[ExportFile]             -bE:[OutputBaseName].exp
+#                   (*) -bI:[ImportFile]             -bI:./python.exp
+#                       -bM:[ModuleType]             -bM:SRE
+#                       -bhalt:[Number]              -bhalt:4
+#                       -T[Number]                   -T512
+#                       -H[Number]                   -H512
+#                       -lm
+#
+#                   The compiler specific ("-lc" or "-lc_r", "-lpthreads",...)
+#                   arguments will be automatically passed to "ld" according
+#                   to the CC command provided as a first argument to this
+#                   script. Usually, the same CC command was used to produce
+#                   the pre-compiled .o file(s).
+#
+#   NOTES:          1.  Since "ld_so_aix" was originally written for building
+#                       shared modules for the Python interpreter, the -e and
+#                       -bI default values match Python's conventions. In
+#                       Python, the entry point for a shared module is based
+#                       on the module's name (e.g., the "mathmodule" will
+#                       expect an  entry point of "initmath").
+#                   2.  The script accepts multiple .o or .a input files and
+#                       creates a single (shared) output file. The export list
+#                       that is created is based on the output file's basename
+#                       with the suffix ".exp".
+#                   3.  The resulting shared object file is left in the
+#                       current directory.
+#                   4.  Uncommenting the "echo" lines gives detailed output
+#                       about the commands executed in the script.
+#
