When building a shared library with exports.txt there's no need to build an intermediary static library, we can just pass -Wl,-bE:... when generating the .so. When building a shared library without exports.txt, there's no need to call mkldexport.sh to export all symbols, because all symbols are exported anyway, and we don't need the export file on the import side (like we do for postgres.imp). This makes building .so's on aix a lot more similar to building on other platforms. In particular, we don't create and remove a .a of the same name but different contents anymore.
