The idea on AIX is that one does not produce a separate static
library. One can link against the shared object as a static library and
pull the object into the application.
If the shared objects are named libgcc_s.so, where does the gcc
driver know to link with those libraries instead of libgcc.a static
libraries? If the filename eventually becomes libgcc.so, then there is
going to be a filename conflict on AIX. The static libraries do not need
to be produced or installed on AIX, so the filename conflict can be
avoided if it exists.
