That statement should be ammended to say "... on PRE-SVR4 System 5 systems."
In SVR4 you get dynamic loading.

I'm not 100% sure what "recent developments" Michael Bloom is refering
to, but perhaps he is talking about System 5 Release 4.  Considering
hom many improvements V.4 has over older System V releases, I certainly
hope and pray that people will not spend an inordinate amount of time
(from now on) trying to make GNU tools do clever things (e.g. dynamic
loading) on older System V releases.  All such work will be man-hours
down the drain before too long.
