It's broke! Linux-FT includes ELF support, but Configure fails to find
most of the symbols in the .so libraries under /usr/lib. The reason is
that nm is duff. The second column of it's output contains '?' in
addition to the usual 'T', 'D' etc. There are two possible fixes - get a
working version of nm or use 'objdump -p' and search for the string
'.text'. I have frigged configure as a temporary measure, but some
standard resolution needs to be found. Any suggestions?
By the way, does the ELF version of Linux support a programmatic
interface to shared libraries? I can't find any documentation that
suggests that it does. I assume that this means that dynamically
loadable extensions are not available :-(
