RE: Library issue on AIX 5.2

["Lam, Eric" <Eric.Lam@fmr.com>]

The --disable-dynamic flag does not work. It still did not link in the lib. 

But I do find the answer. 

I am now using GNU ld, ar, and gcc in the search path. It fixed the library issue on ldapsearch binary but it does not create shared libraries. It said I am using GNU ld 2.9.1 or lower, but actually I am using 2.14. I may need to change the configure script to fix this issue. The "--without-gnu-ld" and "--with-gnu-ld=no" do not fix this issue. It stills say my ld is below 2.9.1 !!

there is a flag that disables dynamic linking for the configure script. 
For some reason libtool is generally broken for AIX.
