| * On AIX, executables using the :prop_tgt:`ENABLE_EXPORTS` target property |
| now produce a linker import file with a ``.imp`` extension in addition |
| to the executable file. Plugins (created via :command:`add_library` with |
| the ``MODULE`` option) that use :command:`target_link_libraries` to link |
| to the executable for its symbols are now linked using the import file. |
| The :command:`install(TARGETS)` command now installs the import file as |
| an ``ARCHIVE`` artifact. |
| |
| * On AIX, runtime linking is no longer enabled by default. CMake provides |
| the linker enough information to resolve all symbols up front. |
| One may manually enable runtime linking for shared libraries and/or |
| loadable modules by adding ``-Wl,-G`` to their link flags |
| (e.g. in the :variable:`CMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS` or |
| :variable:`CMAKE_MODULE_LINKER_FLAGS` variable). |
| One may manually enable runtime linking for executables by adding |
| ``-Wl,-brtl`` to their link flags (e.g. in the |
| :variable:`CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS` variable). |
