Thanks for the feedback, Tom. Some of the ideas I was thinking about
is the possibility of using solib-target. But that would also require
an update of the XML and code. But even with those extensions, the model
wouldn't completely fit due to some little details. So, I'm slightly
towards some AIX-specific solib backend at the moment, especially after
your comments. I have to switch to a couple of other things, unfortunately,
but that also gives me more time to let the ideas mature in my head.

Thank you!
