The problem I've got is that I want to build shared libraries for HPUX 8.0,
using gcc 2.3.3 with the native HP 'as' and 'ld'. I'm using the -fpic
option to the compiler (libraries must be built with position independent
code according to the man page for ld), and the -b option to 'ld' to tell
it to build a shared library instead of an a.out formatted executable.

At the link stage of building my library ld complains that:

	ld: supplemental symbol table required for module test.o

If I add a main() routine to the library and compile it as an executable
(but still with the -fpic option) then it core dumps, even if I don't call
any of the internal routines from within main(). Compiling without the
-fpic option makes it run as expected.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'm running on an HP 9000/300 if
that helps.

Thanks in advance...
