Shared libraries with GNU ld on AIX433?

I'm building GNU ld from the 2001-03-15 cvs source. I utter:

 ./configure \
  --prefix=/gnut \
  --enable-shared \
  --with-gnu-ld \
  --enable-build-warnings \
  --disable-nls

...and it tells me:

*** Warning: the GNU linker, at least up to release 2.9.1, is reported
*** to be unable to reliably create shared libraries on AIX.
*** Therefore, libtool is disabling shared libraries support.  If you
*** really care for shared libraries, you may want to modify your PATH
*** so that a non-GNU linker is found, and then restart.

Will this cvs version of binutils/ld support AIX433 shared libraries, and if so, what magic words do I need to add to ./configure (or ???) to make it happen?
