DESCRIPTION:
Running Tuxedo 8.1 32-bit (RP121) on AIX 4.3 64-bit. 
Unable to build tuxedo8.1\samples\corba\interceptors_cxx application. 
Can build and boot servers in this sample, but it fails to build InterceptorSimp.so.65.

Here is the output of "gmake -f makefile.mk 2>&1 | tee build_out" command:

gmake[1]: Entering directory `.../cxx/simple_cxx'
makeC++SharedLib -bM:SRE -p 0 -T512 -h -bnoentry -o makeC++InterceptorSimp.so.65 InterceptorSimp.o -L/tux81_aix/lib
-lomg -lorb
ld: 0706-006 Cannot find or open library file: -l orb
        ld:open(): No such file or directory
gmake[1]: *** [InterceptorSimp.so.65] Error 255

INFORMATION:
The best solution is to add -brtl to the AIX linker command option in aix.inc makefile so that the linker will look for both *so or *.a libraries.  
By default it ONLY looks for *.so libraries.
Note: Tuxedo 8.0/8.1's buildclient/buildserver and buildobjclient/buildobjserver tool have already been updated to automatically add -brtl flag on AIX platform. 

CONFIGURATION:
Tuxedo 8.1 32 bit RP#121
AIX 4.3  64 bit
