No one?

Shamelessly bumping my own message with some more info:
I've tried creating a .so from the .o (gcc -shared 
-Wl,-soname,kmlsuperoverlaydataset.so -o kmlsuperoverlaydataset.so 
kmlsuperoverlaydataset.o -lminizip -lsz -ljpeg -lgdal) and copying that 
in /usr/local/lib/gdalplugins, but gdalinfo --formats still doesn't show 
kmlsuperoverlay as a supported format. Stracing gdalinfo shows that it's 
stat-ing /usr/local/lib/gdalplugins, however, nothing is loaded from there.
Now I might be missing something essential when creating the .so; I've 
just copied some stuff from other plugin formats' makefiles... I'd be 
grateful if anyone could shine some more light on it, even just by 
saying, hey, don't bother, kmlsuperoverlay is only supported on 
windows/not working/eating your root fs/whatever reason there is to not 
try to use it...

(strace output | grep -i plugin:
...

fcntl(3, F_GETFD)                       = 0x1 (flags FD_CLOEXEC)
getdents(3, /* 3 entries */, 32768)     = 96
getdents(3, /* 0 entries */, 32768)     = 0
