Right. In this case, "-shared" needs to be "-dynamiclib" on OS X, so this should
go into the tool.

That's the basic idea. Rigorously, it's probably a bit more involved when you
start considering two-level namespaces and framework.

One thing to note is that this option is only valid for GNU compilers. Linking
with ifort, I need to use -Wl,-undefined,dynamic_lookup .
