	These may be related to --disable-shared.

	Which assembler and linker are you using?  AIX as and AIX ld, or
using the GNUPro stuff from the AIX website?  You need to figure out why
the libstdc++ configuration is choosing to enable "versioning on shared
library symbols".  When I configure GCC on AIX, this defaults to "no".
you can manually force it to be disabled using --enable-symvers=no when
libstdc++ is configured, but it should not have been choosing "yes" on AIX
anyway.

	(By the way, you do not mention which version of AIX you are
using.)
