Problems about shared libraries are *not* gambas problems - they are operating system ones. Trying to solve this issue in an improper manner can (and probably will) lead to add problems to problems. From a pure, theoretical point of view, this idea is really wrong, as it intereferes heavily with a beatiful concept. That said, anyone is free to interefere as much as wanted... eventually with success...
