        * decl2.c (maybe_emit_vtables, write_out_vars, finish_file):
        Avoid re-emitting variables in unit-at-a-time mode.

The above patch appears to have fixed the AIX storage allocation problem.
The testresults are much better and a visual inspection of the assembly
produced for ios.cc shows the missing symbols have reappeared.

Thank, David
