yes this is true.

basically yes.  gm2 uses (gcc) ld to link the objects but it also
generates the main function and calling glue to call each module
in order of initialisation and finalisation.  You can see examples
of this after you perform a link, search for *_m2.cpp files and
examine the contents.

Also examine the gcc-4.1.2/gcc/gm2/examples/swig directory for ideas
as these swig Python examples all require Linux shared libraries
and all use the automatically generated *_m2.cpp files
