[petsc-dev] [petsc-maint #49590] problem building petsc-dev

[Barry Smith]

  I think Satish is right we should have

--with-shared-libraries
--with-dynamic-loading 

  I haven't made this change but I've changed

improved help message for --with-shared	and --with-dynamic
made --with-dynamic require --with-shared
make --with-shared NOT allow --with-pic=0


I'll change the option names in a little while
