I have little hands-on experience with libraries, so I tried my google
luck. I did find posts that confirms what Jeremy is saying. On the MAC,
a module and a shared library is different. I found a post where the
converse happened. A shared library was linked to using -module and it
failed.
Yea, GnuCash's previous developers wanted gnucash to be a bunch of
Loadable
Modules.. But they never finished the modularlization, and they didn't
understand the difference between a Shared Library and a Loadable
Module.
A couple of things to verify:
* OpenBSD still uses libtool 1.5
* Solaris is different enough to get a review for this
* Ensure -module is not used for shared libraries (if makefile
flags are shared)
