Dynamic loading for SunOs

[Oliver Laumann]

In article <2885 at brazos.Rice.edu> you write:
> Is there a way to link, at runtime, an arbitrary object file to the

You may want to look into the `Elk' Scheme interpreter that has been
posted to comp.sources.misc a couple of weeks ago.  Elk contains a module
that implements dynamic loading of object files into the running process
(see the file src/load.c); it makes use of the -A linker option
(incremental loading).

If you didn't get the above-mentioned posting or have more specific
questions about dynamic loading, send me e-mail.
