I should be precise: on platforms without dynamic linking, you have to use 
"dlpreopening" or GNU DLD (another library that emulates dynamic linking; 
GNU deprecate it in favour of dlopen (I guess they're not interested in 
non-GNU OSes), so let's not go there).

Hence, at the moment it would need a little build-system work, but it's not 
a big deal.
