3.7RC3

Somewhere between 3.7M6 and 3.7M7 the Eclipse splash screen stopped showing on AIX-PPC64.  It shows fine on AIX-PPC32.

This is a problem loading the X11 shared library, the launcher is looking for the wrong name.

It is looking for 
"libX11.a(shr_64.so)" and should be looking for 
"libX11.a(shr_64.o)"


This is a typo introduced when the 32 bit port was added with bug 328080.  However, at that time we did not resubmit a newly compiled executable so the problem did not show up until later when the exe was recompiled for bug 337861.

This affects all graphics shown by the eclipse launcher which includes error message dialogs as well as the splash screen.

We should fix this for RC4.

Patch is released, binaries are recompiled and tagged.
