Actually, we turned it off since 'not every library should be shared', which the Linux folks are finding out. Stuff that is fairly non-standard shouldn't be compiled shared simply because it shouldn't be used. Compiling it shared implies that programs *should* use it (because it doesn't use as many resources), and we want to discourage folks from using libcompat. Nate
