This becomes problematic if a single program uses multiple different ASN.1 specifications, where then +those source files would clash. + +Let's instead move those runtime files into a shared library (*libasn1c*), which is then linked once by each program +needing it, no matter how many asn1c-generated specifications/syntax it uses. + +**The version of the asn1c compiler must match the version of libasn1c**.
