5 It is probably as shareable as normal library files are. Maybe there is
6 more in common, but if the source was different, the end result will be.
7 As much code contains conditionals based a.o. on the system architecture
8 built on, the information would probably be incorrect if e.g. generated
9 on a x86, but used on a ppc. I'm not an expert, so it might even be that
10 the information is incompatible, but I wouldn't expect it to (except from
11 endianess problems).
