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.
