Some documentation things about 2.7.1:
`-shared'
Produce a shared object which can then be linked with other
objects to form an executable. Only a few systems support this
option.
This does not mention that -fpic (or -fPIC) needs to be supplied as
well, at least on some systems. (Perhaps -shared should imply -fpic
where necessary?)
`-fpic'
...
recompile with `-fPIC' instead. (These maximums are 16k on the
m88k, 8k on the Sparc, and 32k on the m68k and RS/6000. The 386
has no such limit.)
It would be helpful if this mentioned the limit on HPPA.
`-fPIC'
...
size of the global offset table. This option makes a difference
on the m68k, m88k and the Sparc.
And the hppa. Also, there's no comma before the `and', as seems to be
the convention elsewhere in the manual.
