To whom it may concern, G'day,

I have a deep and burning question regarding the generation of position-
independent-code by gcc under SunOS4.1.1 on the SUN4 platform.

Can gcc now, or will it in the very near future, produce PIC output suitable for
inclusion in a SunOS shared library?

We are currently using version 1.40 of gcc and there is no indication in any of
the available documentation whether or not PIC can be generated using it.
However, there appears to be support for the 'static' library specifier, so gcc 
obviously has been made cognisant of the existence of shared libraries.

Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks folks.
