Traditionally the problem has been that you actually need to generate two different bits of the DLL. A runtime part and linktime part. I thought it was still the case that you needed to generate these separately, but it seems the libtool docs I was reading are outdated, because the build logs I'm looking at show it does in fact appear to do everything in one go with -shared.
