Uh ... you did get as.working, right?  The assembler in Todd (W)'s
static snapshot cannot produce shared libraries.

(OK, I'm going to get off my ass now and kill the static snapshot and yank
/usr/bin/as from the October snapshot.  <sigh>)

AFAIK, wscons is not on the Shark, period.

Shared library support has been fixed for some time; just no snapshot has
been built with it.  See
