+Subject: dynamic loading on NeXTSTEP

+These are the steps that I took to get dynamic loading working under NeXTSTEP  
+(3.3 m68k, i486) for Python1.4beta3 (including the Numeric stuff).   
+Unfortunately, I don't know anything about the configure scripts, so I don't  
+know how to fix these things properly, but this works for me.  I would be  
+interested in how other people have done this as well.
+
+/configure --prefix=/home/horst/Unix --with-readline=/home/horst/Unix/lib  
+--with-thread --with-next-archs='m68k i486' --without-libm
+
+edit Python/importdl.c
+	under:
+		#ifdef USE_RLD
+	add:
+		#define SHORT_EXT ".a"
+		#define LONG_EXT "module.a"
+
+edit Modules/Setup
+	uncomment *shared*
+	(other editing as desired)
+
+make (just to create the Makefiles)
+
+edit Makefiles
+	change all AR= ar to AR = libtool
+	change all $(AR) cr ... to $(AR) -o ...
+	in Modules/Makefile change:
+		libm =
+		LDSHARED=	cc -r -nostdlib $(CFLAGS)
+		CCSHARED=	-r -nostdlib
+		LINKFORSHARED=	-u libsys_s
+
+make "OPT=-O3 -fschedule-insns2 -ObjC -arch m68k -arch i486"
