I just ran some tests to be sure: Under AIX 4.3.3, the linker does  
not appear to look for libfoo.so, so the shared libraries generated  
would not be useable that way.  It does seem like the most convenient  
way to build modules for use by dlopen, though.

This looks good.  I had to fix up a couple minor things (like, you  
added a no-argument invocation of addrinfo-test to the "make check"  
rule, but with no arguments it prints a message and exits with a non- 
zero status).  I've also set it up to build a version of addrinfo- 
test that uses the fake-getaddrinfo support, for additional testing.

Yep, static builds are a problem right now.  I'm leaning towards  
having the kdb library do the dlopen bit even for static builds; that  
keeps some other things much more consistent.  Making our testing  
scripts work again for shared-library builds is higher priority, though.
