-@subsection Theory of How Shared Libraries are Used
-
-An explanation of how shared libraries are implemented on a given
-platform is too broad a topic for this manual. Instead this will touch
-on some of the issues that the Kerberos V5 tree uses to support version
-numbering and alternate install locations.
-
-Normally when one builds a shared library and then links with it, the
-name of the shared library is stored in the object
-(i.e. libfoo.so). Most operating systems allows one to change name that
-is referenced and we have done so, placing the version number into the
-shared library (i.e. libfoo.so.0.1). At link time, one would reference
-libfoo.so, but when one executes the program, the shared library loader
-would then look for the shared library with the alternate name. Hence
-multiple versions of shared libraries may be supported relatively
-easily. @footnote{Under AIX for the RISC/6000, multiple versions of
-shared libraries are supported by combining two or more versions of the
-shared library into one file. The Kerberos build procedure produces
-shared libraries with version numbers in the internal module names, so
-that the shared libraries are compatible with this scheme.
-Unfortunately, combining two shared libraries requires internal
-knowledge of the AIX shared library system beyond the scope of this
-document. Practicallyspeaking, only one version of AIX shared libraries
-can be supported on a system, unless the multi-version library is
-constructed by a programmer familiar with the AIX internals.}
-
-All operating systems (that we have seen) provide a means for programs
-to specify the location of shared libraries. On different operating
-systems, this is either specified when creating the shared library, and
-link time, or both.@footnote{Both are necessary sometimes as the shared
-libraries are dependent on other shared libraries} The build process
-will hardwire a path to the installed destination.

-@subsection NetBSD Shared Library Support
-
-Shared library support has been tested under NetBSD 1.0A using
-GCC 2.4.5. Due to the vagaries of the loader in the operating system,
-the library load path needs to be specified in building libraries and in
-linking with them. Unless the library is placed in a standard location
-to search for libraries, this may make it difficult for developers to
-work with the shared libraries.
-
-@node AIX Shared Library Support, Solaris 5.3 Shared Library Support, NetBSD Shared Library Support, Shared Library Support
-@subsection AIX Shared Library Support
-
- AIX specifies shared library versions by combining multiple
-versions into a single file. Because of the complexity of this process,
-no automatic procedure for building multi-versioned shared libraries is
-provided. Therefore, supporting multiple versions of the Kerberos shared
-libraries under AIX will require significant work on the part of a
-programmer famiiliar with AIX internals.
-
- AIX allows a single library to be used both as a static library
-and as a shared library. For this reason, the @samp{--enable-shared}
-switch to configure builds only shared libraries. On other operating
-systems, both shared and static libraries are built when this switch is
-specified. As with all other operating systems, only non-shared static
-libraries are built when @samp{--enable-shared} is not specified.
-
- The AIX 3.2.5 linker dumps core trying to build a shared
-@samp{libkrb5.a} produced with the GNU C compiler. The native AIX
-compiler works fine. In addition, the AIX 4.1 linker is able to build a

-

-shared libraries is specified in the library itself without requiring
-that one specify the same at link time.
-
-We are using the @samp{-rpath} option to @samp{ld} to place the library
-load path into the executables. The one disadvantage of this is during
-testing where we want to make sure that we are using the build tree
-instead of a possibly installed library. The loader uses the contents of
-@samp{-rpath} before LD_LIBRARY_PATH so we must specify a dummy _RLD_ROOT
