QBE 1.3 Adds Shared Library Support, Eliminating Custom Backend Requirement

QBE 1.3, released 2 June 2026, now generates position-independent shared libraries via global offset table support on ELF systems. Combined with existing C ABI compatibility, the lightweight compiler backend closes a gap for language runtimes that previously required separate Windows or Unix implementations. Windows x64 support was also added, enabling cross-platform code generation from a single intermediate representation.
