[libxml++] AIX installation problems

[Styer, D. <dar...@lm...>]

I'm attempting to build libxml++1.0 after libxml2-2.6.9 on AIX 5.2 and
am having some problems.
I find that "configure" is unable to parse the output of "nm" and so
sets "global_symbol_pipe" to "" (null), however the shell does not like
the "pipe-space-pipe" line that is ultimately generated.  For the short
term I've changed it to ":" (colon) as a no-op.  I'm not sure what the
output is supposed to look like so haven't looked closer.  I've also
found a double semi-colon in "libxml++/nodes/node.h" the compiler
(version 6) dislikes.  My real problem is that I'm having trouble with
object files with ".lo" extensions that looks something like this

Most of the files compiled with xlC as I am setting "CXX=xlC_r", I'm not
sure why these are different.
Configure does seem to correctly set "compiler_o_lo" (Can we write
directly to a .lo ?) correctly.
Any suggestions would certainly be appreciated.
