PL/Perl and gcc

Hello,

I've noticed a section in the programmer's manual titled "Linking
Dynamically-Loaded Functions". It states that the "The GNU C compiler usually
does not provide the special options that are required to use the operating
system's dynamic loader interface. In such cases, the C compiler that comes
with the operating system must be used."

I am not a compiler wizard, so does anyone know if gcc v2.7.2.2 provides the
special options for dynamic loading?

AFAIK, that's OS specific.

That statement looks long out of date to me --- gcc had little or no
support for shared libs years ago, but that was back in versions 1.*.
