With GCCSDK 3.4.6 you can compile your C++ code with UnixLib or
SharedCLibrary as runtime library and the latter both for application
code and module code.

For GCCSDK 4.1.1, C++ code can only be compiled with UnixLib as runtime
library at the moment.  I haven't found the time to try this with the
SharedCLibrary.
