Right, I meant modifying pkg-config.  When you use static linking, it
uses both Libs and Libs.private, Requires and Requires.private, etc,
because static linking has the same recursion issue.

So, you could modify pkg-config to use Libs and Libs.private instead of
just Libs when dynamically linking on AIX, because dynamic linking on
AIX has the same problem as statically linking everywhere else.

Does that make sense?

Avoiding libtool where possible is always a good thing, so I'd try the
pkg-config thing first, which has the advantage of fixing a wider range
of software, including stuff that doesn't use autotools.

Cheers,
