What kinds of shared libraries are you finding to be flaky?
Prc-tools does not contain an x86 compiler, so clearly you're not
talking about flakiness in creating a DLL for use with the Simulator.
Armlets don't particularly have "shared libraries", but I guess you
could arrange something manually. The only flakiness there would be
the current GOT issues.
On m68k, prc-tools's support for building system shared libraries
("SysLibs") is, as far as I know, not flaky in any way (see for
example the GaussLib sample in the prc-tools samples collection).
If you know of a problem in this area, I would very much like to
hear about it.
On m68k, prc-tools's support for GLibs has not been particularly heavily
tested. In particular, interoperability testing with old Glibs [1] has
not been done properly, but it is reasonably likely that 0.5.0-compiled
apps and libraries have faded into the mists of time and that this no
longer matters much. If you have been playing with GLibs with prc-tools
2.1+, I would be interested to hear of your experiences.
In general, if you tell us what's flaky, we can endeavour to fix it.

[1] Can a prc-tools-2.1+-compiled app use a 0.5.0-compiled GLib?
Can a 0.5.0-compiled app use a 2.1+-compiled GLib?
