no actually you don't have to explicitly specify building the shared 
libraries. they are enabled by default (this has been enabled from 
the current release of gcc. earlier releases warranted an explicit 
decleration to this effect, as you have shown above). if your target cannot 
generate shared objects, then static libs will be generated for you. however,
you can explicitly control, what libs are generated from the compile  e.g. 
gcc, libstdc++, gc-boehm etc. 

i  would be glad to know, of any eoe in the statment above though.

thanks
