Dear Gnulib people,

In manual section 19.2 Controlling the Exported Symbols of Shared
Libraries, I see you define BUILDING_SHARED to 1 if "$enable_shared" is
"yes", and 0 otherwise.

This seems to be a Windows-specific thing, but when I run ./configure -
-help, I read:

  --enable-shared[=PKGS]  build shared libraries [default=yes]

So if I don’t touch this option, enable_shared should be "yes", right?
So BUILDING_SHARED should be 1. However I observe a value of 0. Did I
miss something? Is 0 the expected value?

Also, the help line indicates that maybe the value will be something
other than "yes", but I don’t really understand what PKGS would be
here.  I could not find a mention of enable-shared or enable_shared in
the autoconf manual nor the INSTALL default instructions. Would 0 be
the correct value here too?

Best regards,

Vivien
