Shouldn't "configure" disable dyndrivers if we don't know how to make sha=
red=20
libraries on that system? Otherwise we get errors.

This implies that the shared libraries detection in sysloc.in should be m=
oved=20
to the top of the file, and enable_dyndrivers should be set to no if shar=
ed=20
libs build is not supported in that system. This has to be done this=20
way, as other drivers configured afterwards depends on enable_dyndrivers.

But this does not fully solve the problem, and as such I think that in th=
e=20
RELEASE NOTES users should be warned that, is their systems shared libs a=
re=20
not supported, they should configure without dyndrivers.
