Not at all, you did the work.  :-)

Looks to me like an autoconf error on AIX.  Perhaps maybe it could be
we're using an old version of autoconf, one that expects .a to be a
dynamic library.  Or something in that vicinity.  The linker emitted
a .so, but the install script wasn't looking for one.

Yeah, you would have had to have been lucky with that one.  Can be
done, of course, but not usually on the first try.
