At least four issues with gcc/binutils/AIX

1) Linking with collect2/system linker extracts every g++ object from
   every archive on the link line

2) Linking shared library with gcc force import of __builtin_delete
   from '.' [the main exe] See
   http://gcc.gnu.org/cgi-bin/fom.cgi?file=94

3) Loading g++ shared library into JVM will fail to invoke static
   ctors [On HP I can work around this via ld +init]

4) C++EH house-keeping code is not thread-safe.

I had hoped to workaround #1 and #2 with binutils...
