Should System.mapLibraryName(userLibName) on AIX return ".a" suffix ?

Hello , checking /usr/lib64 on one of my AIX boxes I find a lot of .so libs and also a lot of .a libs as well .
So I am unsure which way to go - both suffix versions seem to be pretty common these days on AIX .
So I would probably keep it as it is , because we had not really much complains so far about it .
Best regards, Matthias

Hi,
Does anyone have a view on whether the the default AIX suffix should change to ".a"?
Thanks

Hi,
Currently System.mapLibraryName(userLibName)returns ".so" as the library suffix on AIX, however the default shared library suffix on AIX is actually ".a". Should the System.mapLibraryName(userLibName)default suffix be changed to align with the AIX default?
Thanks
