I wouldn't even want to hug you anyway :-) since having to hack manually 
config.sh is almost as bad as a failure...

So the change is to hoist the bind library before something (I guess
before the nsl library)?  If so, is the nsl really needed?  Could it
be removed from libswanted by hints/aix.sh?  Or could the reordering
of the libraries done on the libswanted in hints/aix.sh?
