Hi,

Is there an option to build a shared version of libplatform? I'm upgrading 
a project I'm working on from v8 5.3 (with static linking) to 5.4 (with 
dynamic linking), and I use libplatform. I used to link against 
libv8_libplatform.a, but now I cannot find an option in gn that 
automatically generates libv8_libplatform.so. As a workaround, I generate 
the shared library by hand:

$ cd out.gn/x64.debug
$ gcc -shared -o libv8_libplatform.so obj/v8_libplatform/*.o

Is there a better way to do this?

Thank you very much.
Andre
