It's a script that comes with Python (included in the Modules/
subdirectory of the Python source), because AIX requires some magical
compiler incantations to compile shared libraries. This looks like a
bug in Python itself, not in the XML code or the Distutils code; it
seems that LDSHARED is set to './ld_so_aix', when it should be
/usr/local/lib/python1.5/config/ld_so_aix, or something similar. As a
workaround, you could simply copy ld_so_aix to the XML tree from your
Python source tree. Or, put a copy of the script in
/usr/local/lib/python1.5/config/, and hack the makesetup script to
use the full path name. (Distutils parses makesetup to get the paths
and compiler invocations for a system.)

Good job, there, O'Grady. Always kick 'em when they're down. You might just
make a detective yet.
