Confused by Multilib on AIX

[Frank Pilhofer <fp at informatik dot uni-frankfurt dot de>]

  Hi,

 I have run into problems with egcs 1.1a's libstdc++ on the
rs6000-ibm-aix4.2.1.0 architecture. I am fooling around with
shared libraries.

 egcs installs 6 versions of libstdc++:

  ./libstdc++.so
  ./soft-float/libstdc++.so
  ./soft-float/power/libstdc++.so
  ./soft-float/powerpc/libstdc++.so
  ./power/libstdc++.so
  ./powerpc/libstdc++.so

 My problem is that these libraries refuse to load at runtime. If you
want to dynamically load a module that is linked against one of the
afore-mentioned libstdc++ versions into a main program that is *not*
linked against libstdc++ (meaning that libstdc++ is supposed to be
loaded at runtime), dlopen() reports "Exec format error."
 The same happens when you try to dlopen() libstdc++ directly.

 Any solution?

	Frank
