Note that -lmylib is in the wrong place. Libraries must follow the
objects which refer to them.
It does not make sense that you would get an undefined symbol error when
using -shared, so I don't know what is going on. It is unlikely that
you are missing anything from the environment.
I recommend adding the -v option to your execl, to verify that the
expected options are being passed to the subprocesses. Compare to the
output using -v on the command line.
