Back again - I could not find the _ctypes_aix you mentioned. github was 
new, and I had no time then. And what I saw in dynload_aix.c I did not 
understand. I was trying to emulate what I saw in the existing 
Lib/ctypes (i.e., resolve it in python code) rather than write code in C.

Clearly, you understand that path - I (still) do not. Obviously - making 
a library call is more efficient than making multiple subprocess calls.

I may be far enough along with git that I might be able to figure out 
how to "fetch" what you have on github as haubi:issue27435/2.7.

This may also be better, i.e., more efficient, ultimately, than what was 
merged via https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/4507

Now that I have found your work - thank you for all the time you put 
into this last year!

Michael
