Sorry, but contrary to your assertion, it is trivial.

My and/or Kevin's patch did all that is required - throw the switch and 
include solib.[ch].  Nothing technically challenging here, and certainly 
nothing unreasonable for a contributor.  Especially when there's a core 
developer helping with the change.

It could by now have even been committed, if only we'd not been dragged 
down this rat-hole where people start insisting that it has to be tested 
on old crufty systems that likely don't even build.  If you want drive 
away native GNU and GNU/Linux developers from what is ment to be a GNU 
project, tell them to fix vax-ultrix.
