Lucien says "Unfortunately, AIX does not provide any sort of version system
for their shared libraries".
You can use the object name within a library to support multiple versions.
For example, if we make an incompatible change to zephyr we can make
/usr/athena/lib/libzephyr.a[zeph02.o] contain the old zephyr code and
/usr/athena/lib/libzephyr.a[zeph10.o] contain the new zephyr code.
