Now with libtool providing support for filename-based shared library versioning on AIX, even without soname utilization by NSPR yet (bug#452873) it already makes sense for package managers on AIX to build NSPR with the shared library format enabled that does support filename-based versioning.

More info for filename-based shared library versioning on AIX:

Although independent of GCC, this patch is based on the changes from Bug#547991 for creating the list of exported symbols.

Depends on: 547991
Subsequently, also PR_LoadLibrary() needs to support aix-soname=svr4.
