You should not have to do anything special to produce dynamic executables
on systems that support them, because it is the default. Just make sure
to use -lXXX when linking, and make sure there is a shared lib (in this
case libXXX.so.X.Y where X is the major and Y is the minor revision
number) in your library path somewhere.
