Dynamic linking on iOS is complex, and Android also brings some toolchain complexities. It would be possible to do a native build and link it, and that is a route we are also exploring, but a single C file that can be linked with any existing toolchain would simplify things for users.

It also allows us to implement a VFS layer underneath PGlite in a native mode. So things like the in-memory VFS, or a custom VFS, would be possible.

We have not committed to one route or the other yet.
