dynamic vs. shared executables

Hi,

Can someone clarify the difference between a "dynamic executable"
which is produced by ld when the -call_shared switch is given versus
a "shared executable" which is produced when the -shared switch is
given? (And if someone wants to answer a similar question for the
gcc compiler under Linux but maybe it's the same for gcc under
Tru64... The man page says that -shared produces a shared
*library*, so I guess that wouldn't work if I need to produce an
executable...)

Thanks,
