How to Configure Dynamic Loading in AIX, Linux?

I am trying to configure Python to use dynamic loading in both AIX and
Linux. I've read what is in the Modules/Setup file, but apparently a
little bit more magic is needed. I can see the support code to
dynamically load in a module in AIX, and I've heard of people doing it
with Linux...

Could someone who has done this share the magic incantations needed?

Does one need ELF support in Linux to do this? (Or does the technique
vary depending on whether or not one has ELF support?)

Thanks in advance for any help offered...
