Hello,  Thanks for your message.

Your suggestion does not generate an error, but only because it does not invoke 
the linker in order to create a shared library.  It just creates a .mod and .o 
file.

In other words, the -c flag overrides the -shared flag.  This is not what I 
want.  I want to create a shared library which is done by the linker.
