dlopen()

Is there a way to build libdl? The java interpreter which I'm trying to build (jamvm) wants it. Normally this is a part of libc, but it doesn't seem to get build into microtronix uClibc. Do I have my LDFLAGS incorrect, or is there some way to build libdl.so?

Thanks.

    As far as I know, the nios2 tool chain Altera provides does not support PIC. Therefore, shared libraries is not supported.

    Actually, I discovered that there is a dlopen provided by the standard libraries. At least you can compile with it and when linking, you don't get problems with resolving it. I haven't tried to actually use a program which uses dlopen() yet, though.

    If the intended application does not really need dynamic link (native) functionality,

    one may consider link the native methods statically (like hte JAMVM internal native methods!)
