Broken runtime linking on AIX (maybe others)

Working with Heikki and the AIX builds, we've discovered a runtime linking issue.

There is a reference to _talloc_zero() in (relative to source tree):

./bin/libsmbclient.so
./bin/libmsrpc.so
./bin/libaddns.so
./bin/rid.so
./bin/ad.so


libsmbclient.so and libaddns.so are fine, but libmsrpc.so, rid.so and ad.so don't resolve the external reference until runtime (the -G linker option) and then fail miserably.

So there's a patch in bug #4542. Can this be in RC3? 

:-)


Cheers,

Bill
