Can we not just make it a static library? Sounds lazy but the existence of libmir_demo_server_loadable.so sounds like a problem in itself. If demo servers require that much shared code to work that they need to use another shared library then it sounds like either that code is destined to move into libmirserver anyway, or it's destined to be discarded. Because in the long run we want to be able to build usable Mir servers using just libmirserver as the common functionality. In my mind, that's a basic requirement -- build an API that is sufficiently simple that all the complex bits you need are already provided in libmirserver. The existence of libmir_demo_server_loadable.so indicates we're not there yet.
