No, shared libraries are not yet supported for Solaris x86.

If the Boehm collector supports shared libraries on Solaris x86,
then adding support for them would just be a matter of doing
the same thing for i?86-pc-solaris* as we do for i?86-pc-linux*.
That would be quite easy.

I don't know off-hand whether the Boehm collector does support
shared libraries on Solaris x86; to find out, the first thing
to do would be to do a `make gctest_dyn_link' in the boehm_gc directory.
