    Hello,

    I was wondering if I could get the full story on how/why linking under
    AIX 5.1 ppc is so different from other unicies with respect to why ld
    brings in unneeded objects, and then tries to resolve symbols in those
    unneeded objects, which then results in failure.

    I'm using gcc 3.3 with collect2. I cannot produce a simple example yet
    of the problem, but I am seeing unresolved linking errors in the project
    I work on where I KNOW the .o being pulled in out of the archive is
    unneeded.

    Thank you.

    -pete
