check your oracle user's guide for your system. our 'oracle7 for alpha axp openvms user's guide' has a chapter 2 - 'programmatic interfaces' with a subsection on linking.

it suggests using the shared_core_lib and shared_upi_lib symbols. additionally using the shared_sql_lib = "yes" and not linking vs. utilca is reputed to gain a shrinkage of up to 10-fold.

don't know how applicable this would be to aix, and for that matter, how well it works in openvms, since disk usage isn't our primary concern. but it may point you in a helpful direction.
