Both NetBSD-current and FreeBSD-current have had shared libraries
since around October last year. The impending release of FreeBSD 1.1
has shared libraries, and NetBSD 1.0, when it comes out (before the
end of the summer, I would hope) will also have them in a major
release.
I've been running shared libraries in my NetBSD-current machine since
mid-November.
(NetBSD-current and FreeBSD-current are the freely available
development sources for the next major releases of the respective
Operating Systems.)
