Syntax

    -brtl

Purpose
Enables run-time linking for the output file. Run-time linking is the ability to resolve undefined and non-deferred symbols in shared modules after the program execution has already begun. It is a mechanism for providing run-time
definitions (these function definitions are not available at link-time) and symbol rebinding capabilities.
The main application must be built to enable run-time linking. You cannot simply link any module with the run-time linker.

Note
Do not specify this option if you are using the xlC_r4 command because the DCE thread libraries are not compatible with runtime linking.

For more information on this and other -b linker options, see the AIX system documentation.
