Shared libraries only work on CPUs with an MMU.  There is some code in
place to attempt to support MMU-less CPUs, but it is not at all
complete.  So ColdFire (an MMU-less CPU) is not going to work, and
similarly, MMU-less ARM7 CPUs (such as ARM7TDMI) are not supported
either.  For ARM cores with MMUs, such as StrongArm, shared libraries
are well supported and work nicely,
