+#   FILENAME:       make_aix_so
+#   MODULE FOR:     standalone executable
+#   PLATFORM:       AIX (specific)
+#   DESCRIPTION:    Creates a shareable .o from a pre-compiled (unshared)
+#                   .o file
+#   ARGUMENTS:      Same as for "ld".  The -bM, -bE, -bI, -H, -T, and -lc
+#                   arguments of "ld" will be supplied by this script.
+#   NOTES:          1.  Currently specific to the building of Python
+#                       interpreter shared objects, in that the entry
+#                       point name is hardcoded based on the object file
+#                       name (the "mathmodule.o" file will expect an
+#                       entry point of "initmath").  This could be remedied
+#                       by the support (or simple expectation) of a "-e"
+#                       argument.
+#                   2.  The resulting shared object file is left in the
+#                       current directory with the extension .so.  It may
+#                       need to be changed to have a .o extension before
+#                       it is usable.  (At least, Python expects it to
+#                       have the .o extension, but this is simply because
+#                       python wants it that way -- it COULD probably be
+#                       called anything at all).

+#   Note that the setting of "entry" is Python-build specific.  This script
+#   is not general-purpose for that reason (although support for a "-e"
+#   argument to it could be added, making it usable for any AIX application)

+#                             EXPORT LIST GENERATION
+#   ----------------------------------------------------------------------
+#   For the Python modules, this COULD be much simpler, since we know the
+#   only exported variable is ".$entry" ("entry" was assigned just above).
+#   However, the approach used here for export file generation is more
+#   generic and will support all .o's, not just properly formatted Python-
+#   importable modules.  Here is the rule:  any "extern" symbol name which
+#   appears in the #   output of "nm" which IS resolved (i.e., which does
+#   NOT have an address of zero) should go into the export list.  Read
+#   each line from a temp file containing these symbols.  If it begins
+#   with a dot, then add it to the list being built.  If it does not, then
+#   see if the same symbol, with the dot prepended, also appears in the
+#   list.  If so, DON'T include the current symbol (the one without the
+#   prepended dot).

+#              IMPORT LIST AND SHARED OBJECT FILE GENERATION
+#   ---------------------------------------------------------------
+#   Send all output to the to-be-built import file, starting it off
+#   with the required "#!" line (which tells it in which loaded
+#   binary these symbols are to be found at runtime).  Then attempt
+#   to ld the object using only the export list built above, and
+#   hide the stderr output from "ld".  If the ld fails with status
+#   code 8 (and in the case of the Python modules, it always does,
+#   since each need some symbols from the statically linked portion
+#   of the interpreter), this is because an import list should be
+#   given containing the symbols which are unresolved.  The symbols
+#   will have been sent to stdout as a side-effect of the failed ld
+#   command, so by redirecting the stdout output, they will have
+#   magically been put into the import file being built.  Then we
+#   simply call ld again with both the import and export lists.
+#   ===============================================================

+#   ================================================================
+#   GUIDO:  If you want to separate the generation of the import and
+#   export lists from the creation of the .so file, here's where the
+#   break should be made -- in my mail I mentioned that some of this
+#   script belongs in the pre-static link stage of the make and some
+#   belongs after it.  As I said, here is the dividing line.   Now,
+#   of course, if there is a module which needs NO statically linked
+#   symbols -- but then again, there can't be, because they all need
+#   initmodule4() -- the "ld" which is ABOVE this line may actually
+#   have succeeded, so the "if" below will fail, but of course,
+#   if you separate the script at this point, you won't care about
+#   such things.
+#   ================================================================

+
+#   ======================================================================
+#   GUIDO:  Remember that at this point, the files (assuming you leave the
+#   arguments to LDSHARED totally unchanged) are still named with a .so
+#   extension.  However, Python looks for them with a .o extension.  You
+#   can either change this in the core code (#ifdef _AIX) so that it looks
+#   for an .so or you can do what I did, which is rename them to .o's when
+#   they get mv'ed by the sharedinstall make rule.  (Actually, I did it by
+#   hand, but you'd do it in sharedinstall.
