[patch][RFC] Filename based shared library versioning on AIX


Hello!

I would like to introduce filename-based shared library versioning (known as
the "soname" in ELF world) for AIX, activated by the '--enable-aix-soname'
configure flag.

Attached patch is for libgcc_s only, patches for libtool have been posted
(although without any reply so far) to:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool-patches/2012-10/msg00001.html

How Import Files can be used for filename-based shared library versioning:

  * Create the list of exported symbols from object files,
    but with extra "weak" keyword, needed for the Import File later.
  * Create shr.o using -G linker flag, using that list of exported symbols.
  * Set F_LOADONLY on shr.o.
  * Create shr.imp, where
      first line is the "soname":    #! libNAME.so.1(shr.o)
      second line is the bitwidth:   # 32
      rest is list of symbols:       symbol
      eventually flagged as weak:    weak_symbol weak
  * Create libNAME.so.1 as archive, containing shr.o and shr.imp
  * Create symlink libNAME.so -> libNAME.so.1

A little discussion about this already is in:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=52623#c8

Comments?

Thank you!

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

2012-10-30  Michael Haubenwallner  <michael.haubenwallner@salomon.at>

	(libgcc_s) Optional filename-based shared library versioning on AIX.
	* Makefile.in (enable_aix_soname): Define.
	* config/rs6000/t-slibgcc-aix: Implement filename-based versioning.
	* configure.in: Accept --enable-aix-soname argument.
	* configure: Recreate.

-# Build a shared libgcc library.
+# Build a shared libgcc library, with optional filename-based versioning:
+#
+# To get a different *filename* used at runtime than at linktime, instead of
+# the Shared Object we need to give an Import File to the linker, which allows
+# to define a different filename for runtime.
+#
+# Packing both the Import File and the Shared Object into one archive file
+# allows for a file layout similar to what is known on SVR4/Linux platforms -
+# having the unversioned library name as symlink to the versioned one, while
+# still keeping the AIX specific multilib variant of having both 32bit and
+# 64bit Shared Objects within one archive file possible, even if we do not
+# create such libraries (yet?).
+#
+# However, static linking of Shared Objects via an Import File does not work.
+# So as long as a library needs to be statically linkable, we want to use .so
+# as extension for the unversioned symlink, even if that will be used with
+# runtime-linking enabled (-brtl or -G linker flag) only.
+#
+# But as libgcc_s never is statically linked anyway, we can create libgcc_s.a
+# as symlink to libgcc_s.so.1 too (rendering the use of the .so extension as
+# best-practice template here).
+#
+# Use these configure arguments to control the filename-based versioning:
+#
+#   --disable-aix-soname
+#       Do not provide filename-based versioning for shared libgcc (default).
+#
+#   --enable-aix-soname
+#       Create shared libgcc with filename-based versioning, for both linking
+#       with and without AIX runtime-linking enabled.
+#
+# For the symbols listed in the Import File:
+# It would be important to specify their 'weak' attribute, but it turns out
+# that libgcc_s doesn't have weak symbols at all. So there is no need for
+# extra effort to identify weak symbols here.
