In terms of shared libraries, you can't.  This has been discussed before.  It's
because of the pre-bound shared libraries in AIXv3.  Though your routines may
use your malloc(), the system libraries will use the system malloc().  There
is no way around this as of this time.  Open an APAR if you think it needs it.

In terms of unshared libs, I just found the following note (dated Dec. 13th):

	If -bnso is specified on an ld (or cc which does an ld) all libraries
	will be processed as unshared.  Your executable will have bound copies
	of everything.  If you provide a malloc, it will replace the libc
	malloc.

	Marc Auslander

Hope this helps.

  PS/2 it, or DIE!  :-)  The ramblings above have nothing to do with Big Blue.
