You don't indicate which platform you are using, but most Unix platforms now support shared library linking -- use the -shared option in the c4gl script linking line. This should be covered in the manuals and/or the release notes. Incidentally, you should seriously consider upgrading to 7.2 I4GL as it has better support for current engines and support for DBCENTURY.
