R devel - May 2010 - R without dynamic libraries: anyone working on this?

Hi all,
I'm building R for a context where I can't load dynamic libraries.
I've
configured the build appropriately but from what I can tell it's not
currently supported: there are compile errors here and there and the
mechanism for looking up base symbols (CFunTab in Rdynload.c??) seems to
have been ripped out.

I'm going to add enough code so that R_FindSymbol will at least return
correct pointers for the base library (error:  C symbol name
"R_isMethodsDispatchOn" not in DLL for package "base"), but
I was wondering
whether if anyone else is working on this, or if this is scheduled to be
phased out altogether.

Thanks for the info,

Alex
