In Chapter 5, Shared Libraries, of my Programmer's Guide to PalmOS gcc, I
explain how SysLibs are designed for low-level hardware-controlling drivers and
how they are unacceptable for an application-level shared library mechanism.
People doing the latter like MathLib are *abusing* it. In the same chapter I
explain how these is nothing stopping application developers or even better
development tool vendors from creating their own mechanisms for true
application-level shared libraries. GLibs are one of them.

It is and has always been.

Please do yourself a favor, read my Programmer's Guide to PalmOS gcc, and get a
feel for how all this is done in reality.
