can newlib be a shared library on ppc platform?

[Liu Fred-a18596]

I found a tool at
http://oss.software.ibm.com/developer/opensource/linux/projects/minilibc/,
with it I have tailored standard glibc2.1.3 to less than 500K. It meets our
requirements.

I believe newlib is barely a C library, (it was the last time I looked at
it)

I would suggest you investigate uclibc and see if that will do what you
need.
(There is a version of uclibc that will do shared libs, but I do not know
how
advanced the dynamic loader is on PPC.)
