Wow, that's great that you have a shared library already!  Since Pd- 
extended is built with gcc on all platforms, porting the build  
process to other platforms isn't too difficult, its mostly a matter  
of getting the right flags, which are listed in externals/Makefile.

As for using the shared library, I think that you have to explicitly  
load it in each external.  You can look at pd/src/s_loader.c to see  
how Pd does it.  An external is just a shared libray that Pd loads,  
so its the same mechanism.
