Greetings VMS folks!

    A frustrated Unix hacker (me) needs to know how to code/compile/link
    a macro subroutine in order to properly reference a variable defined
    with globaldef in VAX-C.

    The hitch is that the macro object file is linked with a shared
    executable which has the variable definition.

    The load map for the shared executable contains the following
    indication in the symbols section:

		 Symbol          Value
		 ------          -----
		 G_WATCHDOG_EXIT 00000000-RU

    The linker gives me the following warning when I link with the shared
    image:

%LINK-I-BASDUERRS, basing image due to errors in relocatable references
%LINK-W-SHRSYMREF, reference to symbol G_WATCHDOG_EXIT is not position independent
	in psect SUBRTNS offset %X00000018
	in module SUBRTNS file NAS_BUILD:[NAS.PUBLIC.V41I_A_DEVL]SUBRTNS.OBJ;2

    The macro statment in question is:

	    cmpl    g_watchdog_exit,r0

    Any help appreciated!!!
