I'm not perfectly sure about this (my assumption is/was that this is  
true for Linux and OSX).
Hm, can you directly memory map a shared library for execution? Of  
course this would be rather cool. Do you have pointers for the  
"AFAIK"? ;-)

Maybe one should really do a testrun with a large library and a small  
tool to check the differences between debug and no-debug. Maybe I  
find the time later this day to do this.
