I wrote something that works with the newer MIPS compilers (I was
using 2.10 because I needed there builtin alloca for another part
of the port) that does dynamic loading for a version of scheme called
ELK.  It should work for DECstations, but several people have told me
that there is a problem with the MIPS 1.31 ld's handling of the -T
option.  The jist of it seemed to be that it wasn't possible under the
current compiler release.  I think that they have the newer release
(I don't know if it is MIPS 2.0 or 2.1) in field test.  If you want to
see the code, let me know.
