To claim so, he could have simply name a OS which do shared libraries
right, which he don't and perhaps can't do.

Below is the JFH's claim.

	Were the code in the C library pure, shared libraries would
	be extremely simple to implement.  Data, which isn't sharable,
	is the worst of the flies in the ointment.

And, as I pointed out, the jump table IS unsharable global data.

Good-bye.
