It looks like this should only be a problem for building shared
modules.  Turning off shared module support in the Batteries build would
be one option, and people who need it (and have platforms where it is
supported) can either turn it on with a configuration knob or manually
make the dynamically-loadable modules.  About the only use case I see
for a dynamically-loadable Batteries is so it can be depended on by
something like an Ocsigen module.

It would be interesting to know what exactly is causing this problem and
whether there is something that can/should be changed in the compile
