NetBSD sdf 2.1.0_STABLE NetBSD 2.1.0_STABLE (sdf) #0: Tue Mar 14 07:50:31 UTC 2006  root@sverige:/var/src/src/sys/arch/alpha/compile/sdf alpha
>Description:
The bash shell allows you to write builtins and store them in a shared object, which are then loaded using the enable command. On NetBSD, this doesnt work as symbols that bash exports, such as make_builtin_argv() and last_pid_created are not available. This works on three linux systems I tested.
>How-To-Repeat:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

/* This file is also available here http://dev.gentoo.org/~taviso/builtin.c if the formatting does not survive
 * $ gcc -shared -o builtin.so builtin.c 
 * $ enable -f ./builtin.so btest
 * $ btest
 * bash: enable: cannot open shared object ./builtin.so: ./builtin.so: Undefined symbol "make_builtin_argv" (symnum = 21)
