It seems to me that the real problem here is that someone tried to
take shortcuts in the AIX dynloader code. Instead of implementing
the same interface that the rest of the ports support, the AIX files
try to force their own definition of the pg_dlXXX functions --- and
for what? To save a wrapper function? These are hardly performance-
critical routines, so I don't see the point.
I propose the following changes instead. I don't have any way to
test them however --- would you check them?
