[LLVMdev] Can llvm write shared objects?

Currently ELFObjectWriter only writes ET_REL, making relocable ELF.
Why isn't it able to write ET_DYN object, that would make shared object ELF?
Shared objects are of course achievable through calling 'ld' on object 
modules, but I am curious why llvm can't write them directly.
The difference is probably cosmetic from the standpoint of llvm.
