I was not saying it's going to be easy to make shared libraries work on 
Linux. I've tried to make shared libraries working on Linux starting 
with the same approach I used when making them work on Mac OS X. Issue 
4583 is how far I got, then I couldn't get further. I'm just pointing 
out that fixing issue 4583 is where one could start to make shared 
libraries work on Linux.
