I'm just a "lowly" Coco-3 (6809) hacker, but I seem to recall
that OS/K (68000 OS9) does indeed share the whole stinkin'
StdIO library, so when you have a half dozen C programs loaded,
there's only ONE copy of printf() in memory!
No longer need "hello world" take 4K ... mike k

PS: there was quite a discussion couple months back on mod.os
about ways to implement shared libraries.  Somewhat after the fact,
but there are several approaches each with good & bad points.
