There's some other peculiarity that I wanted to mention it anyway.
When I Configure -s and then make gp, make bench still fails
looking for shared library.  So maybe for platforms where
-export-dynamic is required, gp-sta target should depend on
lib-dyn. And another thing, I can't make lib-dyn from the top level
directory, I have to cd to Oxxxx.
