Yep.  Every time I used gcc -shared to create a shared library that
depended on another shared library.

GCC would generate an import file starting with `#! .'.  This would
cause the generated library to depend on `.'.  Ugh!

This is fixed in the development sources.  GCC 3.0 will be the first
release of GCC to properly support the construction of shared
libraries on AIX 4.1.
