As quoted from <1991Mar16.073109.30717@m.cs.uiuc.edu> by sane@m.cs.uiuc.edu (Aamod Sane):

+---------------

System V has shared libraries, but you have to design your libraries for them
--- they are *not* trivial to set up.  I know little about the SunOS
implementation, but it looks rather easier to use.

(Has this been addressed in SVR4?)
