+OpenBSD 2.9 DSO Builds but won't start, with segfaults in the
+ Perl lexer. I wasn't even able to start mp1-dso with
+ the customly built perl (tried 5.6.1 .. 5.9.0)
+ -- the segfault is again in lexer. It seems that
+ the standard OpenBSD perl package has been heavily
+ patched, when the core system perl 5.6.0 package was
+ built, since I can run 'make test' on mp1-dso, but not
+ with a customly built 5.6.0 with the same
+ options. Since 2.9 is no longer supported by OpenBSD,
+ there is no 5.6.1 or higher to try, so at this moment
+ we simply give up on 2.9. We think that the static mp2
+ build should work just fine (once it's available).
+
+AIX 3.3 DSO Works with -berok to ignore linking errors (symbol
+ resolution). Should replace -berok with a proper
+ symbol resolution at linking time, but I had not much
+ success with using this approach (dlopen fails).
