I occasionally contemplate this article (and am glad I found it again!), mostly because of this quote: > there is no standardized way to build a shared library in Unix. Instead of standardizing how to do that across all Unixen—something that would take just a single flag to the ld(1) command I've never looked into it, but I'd love to know what ld flag PHK was thinking about. Could the entirety of libtool still be replaced by that flag?
