Hi David (et al)!

The upcoming initial release of gcc-5 feels like a good opportunity for the
AIX port of gcc to introduce optional support for the important Linux-known
feature I'd call "filename-based shared library versioning", aka. SONAME.

We have had some discussion in https://gcc.gnu.org/PR52623 already, and I've
found it most descriptive for the configure option to read:
  "--with-aix-soname=aix|svr4|both"
where 'aix' is the current situation (default), 'svr4' the new variant only,
and 'both' for backwards compatibility - outlined in the install.texi diff.

To allow for backwards compatibility at all, I'd provide the 'svr4' variant
with 'runtime linking' enabled only, as this is true for Linux/SVR4 anyway.

As I'm using the 'svr4' variant for a quite large portable C/C++ application
already (via Gentoo Prefix) on AIX, I can tell this kind of filename-based
versioning of shared libraries does really work as expected.

Besides adding some documentation, attached patch is for libgcc_s only, as for
other libraries I'd prefer to get the "--with-aix-soname" support via upstream
libtool, where I don't have the 'both'-support ready yet. I have to rebase
the existing 'svr4' patches anyway - currently these do "--enable-aix-soname",
found in https://github.com/haubi/libtool/compare/aix-soname

But even if not ready for normal use yet, I'd love to see the gcc-5 release
start introducing 'aix-soname' - allowing for "more Linux with AIX" ;)

Thoughts?

Thank you!

Subject: [PATCH] AIX: Filename-based shlib versioning for libgcc_s

2012-11-05  Michael Haubenwallner <michael.haubenwallner@ssi-schaefer.com>

	(libgcc_s) Optional filename-based shared library versioning on AIX.
	* gcc/doc/install.texi: Describe --with-aix-soname option.
	* Makefile.in (with_aix_soname): Define.
	* config/rs6000/t-slibgcc-aix: Support filename-based versioning.
	* configure.in: Accept --with-aix-soname=aix|svr4|both option.
	* configure: Recreate.

+@code{Import Files} may be used with @code{Runtime Linking} only, where the
