I do not have a stake in AIX, either, but I had the same reaction.
Those who found having to give NO_R_TO_GCC_LINKER=NoThanks annoying
could have passed CC_LD_DYNPATH=-Wl,-rpath instead, but that is not
much shorter or sweeter X-<; with this change, they do not have to
do anything, but those who are broken can pass CC_LD_DYNPATH=-R to
unbreak it. So it may not be the end of the world, but this move
certainly smells like robbing non-GCC users to pay GCC users to me.
