I'm afraid this sends us back to the drawing board. We can't simply use "AR = gcc ..." to build shared libraries because they need to link to each other. What were the reasons for building this way again? I can see that it's helpful to build the static libraries without -fPIC, but one can do this by building .lo objects with -fPIC and making the shared libs with those, like libtool does. I'm afraid I'm going to have to revert much of the recent work to -4 and try to fix its problems a different way... -Adam -- GPG fingerprint: D54D 1AEE B11C CE9B A02B C5DD 526F 01E8 564E E4B6 Engineering consulting with open source tools http://www.opennovation.com/
