Comment (by kyngchaos):

 Well, looks like it's a no-go for OSX.  I think it's because on OSX there
 is a distinction between dynamic libraries and loadable modules.  Dynamic
 libraries are loaded by ld and linked during the build (I think some call
 this statically linked), loadable modules are loaded by programs (and
 other libraries) at runtime and are not linked (or as some would say,
 dynamically linked).  Dynamic libraries can also be loaded as modules.

 Extensions to libraries and programs, such as Python, PHP, Apache, ...,
 are built as modules on OSX.  So, _gdi_.so can't be linked as a library,
 and you get missing symbols errors.
