Subject: 26.2.90; Emacs doesn't support .dylib suffix for modules on macOS
Date: Sat, 15 Jun 2019 19:13:39 +0200

On macOS, shared libraries typically have the suffix .dylib,
cf. https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/DynamicLibraries/100-Articles/UsingDynamicLibraries.html,
https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/DynamicLibraries/100-Articles/DynamicLibraryUsageGuidelines.html,
https://stackoverflow.com/a/2339910.  Emacs only supports the .so
suffix, though.  I'd propose to switch MODULES_SUFFIX to .dylib on
macOS, but keep .so in `load-suffixes' for compatibility.

I've now fixed this with commit 28268e47d8.

Thanks, but this change needs to be reflected in NEWS and in the ELisp
manual.
