--- Comment #14 from David Edelsohn <dje at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
The AIX 7.1 system in the GCC Compile Farm has GCC 4.8.1 from Perzl installed.
As I wrote before, I tried your example program (without the second "e" outside
scope) using

g++ -O2
g++ -O2 -maix64
g++ -O2 -pthread
g++ -O2 -maix64 -pthread
g++ -O2 -fPIC
g++ -O2 -maix64 -fPIC
g++ -O2 -pthread -fPIC
g++ -O2 -maix64 -pthread -fPIC

All of them produce executables that produce the result

"This is not caught 20".

The "-shared" and other options do not make sense unless one is building a
shared library.

Have you tried a simple test?  Without all of your additional options? I don't
understand why you choose the path of adding more options for AIX linker and
GCC before you try a simple test to see if your earlier, complicated compile
and link line are the cause of the problem.
