It directs the entry point.

I can't say about other AIX platforms.
As far as in my environment each extionsion library requires -eInit_foo.

The following sample works correctly on AIX 5.2 by adding -eInit_socket.

   require 'net/http'
   Net::HTTP.start('www.example.com', 80) { |http|
      response = http.get('/index.html')
      puts response.body
   }
