The OSF ships motif 1.1 source with makefiles that build shared
libraries (although they claim that they have not tested them).

We've build Motif 1.0.3 (with some of our modifications) shared and
have had no problems (Sparc with SunOS 4.0.3 and 4.1 and a set of
very, very large Motif applications).
