While building the gcc 3.4.3 I see this warning :

updating cache ./config.cache
loading cache ./config.cache within ltconfig

*** Warning: the GNU linker, at least up to release 2.9.1, is reported
*** to be unable to reliably create shared libraries on AIX.
*** Therefore, libtool is disabling shared libraries support.  If you
*** really care for shared libraries, you may want to modify your PATH
*** so that a non-GNU linker is found, and then restart.

Should we hide (rename) the gnu linker, ld into gld, to avoid such problems ?
