to my knowledge all current Unix-like OSes support dynamic linking
via shared object libraries. See JR Levine's excellent book on
Linkers & Loaders (http://linker.iecc.com/ although still linked
on this page the beta site (http://www.iecc.com/linker) is now
"Forbidden", which is understandable, but you may find it still here:
http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.iecc.com/linker or
there: ftp://ftp.iecc.com/pub/linker

Linux surely supports them

since I don't have access to OS-X I cannot say for sure,

hmm, it will still be necessary to guarantee (and I am not
shure that this is possible) that you don't call incompatible
versions, otherwise all safety offered by BlackBox will be gone ...
