I was going by the port which did NOT configure it with --enable-shared.
It appears to build a shared object if I configure it with --enable-shared.
I didn't look at the history of the port. It's currently a ports@ port, and
the PR I sent (ports/96062)
has me grab maintainership.
If you want me to, I can update it to build shared, but I need to test it
some.
