Hi all,

I'm looking for a way to build a sharable library
using g++ 2.3.2 under SunOS 4.1.1.

The "vanilla" approach (say, g++ -nostdlib -o libstuff.so.1.0 *.o)
does not work, since when I'm linking (using g++ main.o -lstuff),
constructors/destructors of static objects in the sharable library 
are not included in the global constructor/destructor list and
thus not invoked upon execution.

There is some code related to this in the 2.0 distribution
of libg++ (drt0.c, init.c, init_main.c, dynamic_lib.c, dldefs.h),
written by James Kempf (of SUN?), but despite all trials, 
I can't figure out how to use it correctly.
It seems I have to build a special object, drt0.o 
(using gcc -c drt0.c or cc -pic -c drt0.c), which manages all
the constructor/destructor stuff, and have it included in
my shared library. This is what I do. But all I get is
an "illegal instruction" error.

So, if any of you outside there have managed to build a
sharable library using g++, please let me know.
Any hint is appreciated. 

Please e-mail. I will summarize your suggestions.
