I think you can skip creating the text file by changing the command line
options to

$(F77) -o module.so -bM:SRE -bexpall -bnoentry $(OBJECTS) $(LIBDIR)
$(LIBS)

ie replacing the -bE:module.exp option by -bexpall. This option is only
available in AIX 4.2 and later. I have just tried it and it appears to
work for me.

Maybe we are really getting somewhere!!
