solib-aix5.c

Hello,

I have recently investigated a regression in core file
loading on
AIX, and will post a fix soon. However, this made me realize
that
we are still using the SOLIB_ADD and
SOLIB_CREATE_INFERIOR_HOOK
on this platform.

I have checked, and it appears that we are the last one to
use
these macros. I haven't thoroughly check what "we"
includes,
but wouldn't it be nice if we could get rid of them
entirely?

In any case, I think what's involved is to move to the
target_so_ops,
right? It just so happens that I've found a file called
solib-aix5.c.
This file seems to have been created in 2001, but doesn't
seem to be
used at all. It's never included on any configuration as far
as I
can tell.

Does anyone know the history of this file?

Thanks Mark. I have sent a patch that proposes just that.
I've given
a week before going ahead with the deletion.
