dynamic linking from libraries

[Ranjan Bagchi]

	I'm screwing around with extensions to a language, and am
trying to incorporate a robust "escape to C" feature.  It seems to me,
that the best way to do this short of linking in ALL the C library
calls (gack) is to have the program access the various lib*.a files,
and at run time extract the needed function, and then call it.  
	Problem - I have no idea how to do this short of some really
cheesy system() calls which would produce a temporary executable.
 
	I have been told that with SunOS (which I'm using),  there is
a better way.
 
	I'd appreciate advice, source code, anything...
