I'm posting this report to pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org too. I aware the fact
that I posted mostly the same report to pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org about two
month ago. Though, I had a mistake on it. I needed -Wl, before -bnoentry
to support gcc.

You need to specify -bnoentry option for ld when you build shared library,
on AIX 4 or later. Here is a patch. This works for xlc too.

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to majordomo@postgresql.org)
