First, you misunderstand AIX. On AIX shared libraries *are*
archives. Shared libraries are archives of shared objects and non-shared
objects. If you copied libc.a from AIX, it is a shared library.
Second, collect2.c reverts to scanning libraries with "nm" when
cross-compiling:
#ifdef CROSS_COMPILE
#undef OBJECT_FORMAT_COFF
#undef MD_EXEC_PREFIX
#undef REAL_LD_FILE_NAME
#undef REAL_NM_FILE_NAME
#undef REAL_STRIP_FILE_NAME
#endif
