The -fPIC and -fpic options seem to be dead. I need them to compile position
independent code for shared libraries. 

The environment:

  hancock% gcc -v
  Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-sunos4.1/2.3.1/specs
  gcc version 2.3.1
  hancock% g++ -v
  Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-sunos4.1/2.3.1/specs
  gcc version 2.3.1

  hancock% cat /etc/motd
  SunOS Release 4.1.1 (SUN4_2scsi) #4: Mon Jan 13 13:06:18 EST 1992
 
  Oct 21  xv              - version 2.21 displays images in the JPEG, GIF, 
                                  PBM, PGM, PPM, X11 bitmap, and PM formats

The sample source file:

  hancock% cat test.cc
  #include <iostream.h>

  void test (int argc, char **argv)
  {
    cout << "argc = " << argc << "\n";
    int argi;
    for (argi = 0; argi < argc; argi ++) {
      cout << "argv[" << argi << "] = " << argv[argi];
    }
  }

OK without -fPIC:

  hancock% g++ -c test.cc

But not with -fPIC:

  hancock% g++ -fPIC -c test.cc
  /usr/local/bin/gcc: Internal compiler error: program cc1plus got fatal signal 6

Please adivse. Is there a workaround? If I can't make shared libraries I will
not be able to use g++. I will be forced to use another product that is in all
other ways inferior.

Thanks,

David Cogen.
