Just one question: Why is it needed to remove the `const' in general and not
only for AIX? The problem is just that dlfcn.h exists in newer AIX variants
but shouldn't be used. So I would do an #undef HAVE_DLFNC_H for AIX. Isn't
that enough? IMHO it leads perhaps to new portability problems when
just changing the stuff for all platforms.

I'll add #undef HAVE_DLFNC_H to os.h for AIX. That makes more sense to
me too. 
Thanks for the suggestion.
