But a shared lib is _supposed_ to be compiled with position-independent
code with -fPIC -- otherwise you are just asking for trouble to simply
relink in this way. It may work for you (as it does for me with
pl/perl, and for Karl DeBisschop), but it is highly unlikely it will
work for everyone, and it is likely to cause performance issues even if
it does work.
