ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .__magic4 
An error occurred building library "libdb2informixF.a". 
End processing for wrappers: INFORMIX 
 
The error happened because of the issue described in Informix 
APAR IC75676.  The issue was firstly introduced into Informix 
Client SDK 3.70.xC1. Informix firstly fixed it on  3.70.xC3 and 
all references to __magic4 were removed, but they rolled back 
original fix at 3.70.xC4 thinking about a different approach for 
the fix: make sure libxlopt that contains the symbol "__magic4" 
was linked explicitly to the CSDK dynamic libraries so that the 
backward compatibility problem described by IC75676 was solved. 
However, for static libraries (as the scenario in script 
djxlinkInformix) which are simply archives of object files, this 
isn't possible so the error happened. 
 
The error should happen with Informix Client SDK 3.70.xC1, 
3.70.xC2, 3.70.xC4 and all later versions.  The error should 
only happen on an AIX platform.

To work around the problem, you can select one of below options: 
 
Option 1: Install and use Informix Client SDK 3.70.xC3 instead. 
 
Option 2: 
1). Check if libxlopt.a exist on your system(usually in path of 
/usr/vac/lib). If not, you have to install the redistributable 
fileset vac.aix53.lib to your AIX( 
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/comphelp/v111v131/topic 
/com.ibm.xlc111.aix.doc/compiler_ref/ruliblnk.html). You can 
download AIX package xlcpp.util that contains the fileset from 
following links: 
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24019828 
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24026636 
 
2). Add "-L/usr/vac/lib -lxlopt" to djxlinkInformix script: 
......... 
      -K -lc_r -lC_r -lm -ldl -ltli -lpthread \ 
      -L$INFORMIXDIR/lib \ 
      -L/usr/vac/lib -lxlopt \              <<< add this line 
      -L$INFORMIXDIR/lib/esql \ 
      -lthasf -lthgen -lifgls -lifglx -lthos -lthsql -lthxa \ 
      $INFORMIXDIR/lib/netstub.a \ 
      $INFORMIXDIR/lib/esql/checkapi.o \ 
.........
