Yes, it should.  I think it was missed from the released since
we wanted to make sure everything else was ok, and there's
still some unresolved issues with filename handling and
shared libraries.

At the moment, there isn't even really a canonical way of
doing this natively.  You're welcome to experiment, although
note problems in these posts:

So for now, unless you want to deal with this hassle and/or
be involved in making this situation more sane (which
would certainly be appreciated), then you should perhaps avoid it
and stick to static binaries for now.

Yes, that is very old.  !SharedLibs contains all the correct
support for ELF.
