People,

Some days ago I send a note to Satoshi asking if he knew why 
the shared lib version of some ports were failing on my system.
No reply; so I began digging into the makefiles and came up 
with something that works for my 2.2-R platform.

For png (libpng)::

libpng.so.${VER}: $(OBJS:S/o$/so/g)
        ${LD} -Bshareable -x -assert -Wl,pure-text -o $@ $(OBJS:S/o$/so/g) -lz

and for the mpeg shared library::


$(SHLIBRARY):   $(SHLIBOBJ)
                ${LD} -Bshareable -o $(SHLIBRARY) $(SHLIBOBJ)


I'm not sending an `official' PR because the above fixes may be 
unnecessary for FreeBSD releases following 2.2.0.  Additionally 
because some of the above gcc|ld flags may be missing or extraneous.

Hope that these hacks help.
