The first three ones are part of upstream scons default branch, the fourth (aix-soname-svr4) is pull-requested already.

[Comment 5 Michał Górny 2016-11-06 09:42:03 UTC]

Is this still necessary with 2.5.0?

[Comment 6 Michael Haubenwallner (RETIRED) 2016-11-07 10:13:01 UTC]

Yes: as far as I am aware of, AIX shared libs still aren't fully supported upstream.
But as I haven't had a recent working AIX Prefix for a long time now, seems like this bug has to linger for another while...

[Comment 7 Fabian Groffen 2020-12-14 20:38:45 UTC]

any idea if this is present in 4.0.1?

[Comment 8 Michael Haubenwallner (RETIRED) 2020-12-15 10:13:22 UTC]

As far as I can see in their github repo, SCons still is unable to properly build shared libraries on AIX. On the other hand, ppc-aix is phasing out in Prefix.
