- It has a dlfcn.h and a library containing dlopen, dlsym etc... I never got a
- chance to test them out though. They are built on MIPS' own Dynamic Shared
- Object (DSO) technology which is somewhat different from Sun's or AT&T's.
- That is, dlopen/dlsym are library routines written in terms of a different
- MIPS only interface (consisting of routines with "rld_" in front of them if
- I recall). I suppose if the SysVr4 compatibility code doesn't work, you can
- either bug report it or use the lower level DSO interfaces. (I have no
- reason to believe dlsym/dlopen are broken though.)
-
- Please don't mention pty's and signals under RISC/os. Just thinking about it
- makes me ill.
