Thanks for the link. The article seems to be a bit old, though (1999, no 
64-bit, seems to compare to XP). Not sure how much has changed since.

It isn't clear from the initial description, but the comparison at the 
end gives me the impression that ELF allows direct data relocations into 
another shared library very much like what I've tried to implement for 
Windows.

I've tried generating some ELF object files (under windows by compiling 
for TARGET_LINUX), but I don't see any code generated to support 64-bit 
data addresses. How is this going to work?
