These libtool changes worry me a little:

-  freebsd3*)
+  freebsd[34]*)

.. because in 12 months we are going to be in the same boat with freebsd5 
and again with freebsd6 etc.  Keep in mind the elevated versioning 
scheme..  ie: instead of 3.0, 3.0.1, 3.0.2, 3.0.3, ... 3.1 we are going 
like this:  3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, ... 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, .. 5.0, 5.1 etc.

The changes should be along these lines:

freebsd1*)	# don't bother with shared libs for freebsd 1.x
	noshared...
freebsd2*)	# a.out tools.
	ld -Bshareable ...
freebsd*)	# everything from 3.0 onwards
	gcc -shared ...

Cheers,
-Peter
