SunOS doesn't have shared libraries - yet.  (As of 4.1, that being the
latest I've worked on to any extent.)  It does have shared objects;
they are not libraries except in the broad sense of the term.  When
ld.so brings in a .so file, you get the whole thing....

Vanilla 4.3BSD does not have anything of the sort.  I don't know about
more recent versions (eg, 4.3-tahoe, 4.3-Reno...).
