AIX: A complete overhaul of the shared library support is now in
place. See Misc/AIX-NOTES for some notes on how it's done.
(The optimizer bug reported at this place in previous releases
has been worked around by a minimal code change.) If you get
errors about pthread_* functions, during compile or during
testing, try setting CC to a thread-safe (reentrant) compiler,
like "cc_r". For full C++ module support, set CC="xlC_r" (or
CC="xlC" without thread support).
...
so I guess the answer is yes.
