Clean up dynamic libaries / correctly build shared versions of third-party libraries #133

Closed klange closed 5 years ago

klange commented 7 years ago

The dynamic loader is working reasonably well, but the dynamic libraries we have on hand are cobbled together from archives of static objects - not all of which are built PIC, and some don't even work properly as shared objects (like GLU/Mesa or the C++ stdlib). Let's clean those up so we can get the toolchain operating as it should.

The new manual approach to building third-party libraries has resolved this issue.
