I think libtool makes libgmp.a to support old versions of the linker,
which don't allow .so, or something like that.

I'm not up with the conventions on aix. Hopefully libtool knows what
it's doing. If the .a is the shared library then presumably there's
no need for a .so.
It is worth noticing that all code on AIX is position-independent,
which blurs the difference beween static and shared libs.
