I think you misunderstood my proposal. I don't want to apply your initial fix which changes libcamlrun.a into libcamlrun.so. I want to add a libcamlrun_shared.so, so there would be no ABI change, just the added possibility to link against it. Or maybe you're concerned about having to drop in the future support for libcamlrun_shared.so, but I think the user impact of that new library would be quite low. In fact I don't think anything else that mod_caml-like projects will need it ... Cheers. -- Stefano Zacchiroli -*- PhD in Computer Science ............... now what?
