	* Configure (1.294), Makefile.org (1.142): For systems where gcc is
	used and where we don't know if GNU ld is used or not, let's ask
	collect2 which ld it uses and choose to use the target
	do-gnu_shared if GNU ld is used.

	This solves the reported problems on Solaris systems where GNU cc
	is used but GNU ld isn't, and probably on other systems with
	similar setups.

	* Makefile.org (1.135): A method to create shared libraries on AIX,
	and according to "Howard Chu" <hyc@highlandsun.com>, it may be
	general enough to work on any Unixly system.

	* Makefile.org (1.134): Linux shared libraries can be linked with
	debug symbols.	Tru64 shared libraries can be linked with static
	libraries.

	* Configure (1.243), config (1.71): Recognise Darwin as well.  For
	now, have it do exactly the same thing as for Rhapsody

	* Makefile.org (1.115): Some platforms (namely HP-UX) require the
	'x' bit set for shared libraries.  For performance reasons, it is
	also recommended to make the (mmap'ed) shared library 'read-only'.
	-> New permissions for installed shared libraries = 555

	This doesn't hurt anybody, provided the installation is performed
	with 'cp -f' :-)

	* Makefile.org (1.106): When building shared libraries on HP-UX
	10.20 and HP-UX 11.00 (32bit), ld warns that -Fl "may not be
	supported in future releases".	We know that, and are doing things
	in HP-UX 11 (64bit), so turn off that warning with
	+vnocompatwarnings.

	* Configure (1.232): FreeBSD-elf can do threads.  However, there
	seems to be confusion if you should defined _THREAD_SAFE (I found
	that in an include file, and that's what everybody tells me) or
	_THREADSAFE (that's what the gcc manual says in the
	FreeBSD-specific section), so I defined both, just to be safe.

	* CHANGES (1.631), Configure (1.231), Makefile.org (1.104):

Make sure ranlib is only used on .a libraries.
