  case "$host_os" in

aix*)         DLLDFLAGS="${DLLDFLAGS=-G -bexpall -lc}" ;;

-s is O.K. - we explicitly check if it is safe to strip shared libraries. Of
course, test may get it wrong anyway ...

My guess is that AIX 4.3 has dl* functions and hence AIXDYNAMIC is not used.
But something goes wrong with dlopen() & Co.

Post config.log here, generated config.h and exact configure invocation
here. Remove config.cache before running configure - else confg.log will be
pretty useless.

I vaguelly remember something about AIX and dlopen. Should be in archives.
