FWIW, I gave this patch a careful read, and it looked sane to me.
But I only consider myself a yellow-belt-C++-student, so a careful
review from someone else would be useful too.

As far as I can tell, the buildbots include ppc-aix, so the patch
was tested there as well, so additional runs would probably not
help, right? (I am pretty sure that the shared library code is
exercised).
