The .eln files do not link against any dynamic libraries. They can be loaded
into Emacs even if GCC is not in the path. `ld` needs a few object files and
static libraries to create the file. I am typing this from an Emacs that does
not have gcc in PATH and it has many .eln files loaded.

I have seen that the way to declare DLL functions to be used in Windows is to
use the DEF_DLL_FN macro. This only works in Windows though. Is there a library
that is loaded through dlopen() in Posix too? I would like to use it as an
example.
