Re: [PATCH 3/3] algol68: link libga68 dynamically by default

Thanks for the patch.

We are not ready yet to turn on dynamic linking with libga68.  There are
some big changes coming in the compiler-runtime interface.  Hopefully we
will be able to switch to dynamic linking by default in GCC 17, but not
quite yet.
