[OpenAFS-devel] AIX .exp files? do they have to be installed?

[Neulinger, Nathan]

Ok. When linking them, is there anything special about the order?

i.e. is

ar crv lib.a blah.o afs.exp
ranlib lib.a

functionaly equivalent to

ar crv lib.a blah.o
ranlib lib.a
ar crv lib.a afs.exp

or does it have to be done in that special ordering?
