linking problems with gcc3.0 on solaris8

[ravi kol]

I am trying to compile  a c file with GCC3.0 on  a
solaris 8 sparc machine.the following is the command
and the output.

-----------------------------------------
gcc -I/usr/j2sdk1_3_1/include
-I/usr/j2sdk1_3_1/include/solaris -I/usr/local/include
-shared jpcap.c -o libjpcap.so -lnsl
-L/usr/local/lib/pcap.a

ld: fatal: relocations remain against allocatable but
non-writable sections collect2: ld returned 1 exit
status
-----------------------------------------

I have recently shifted from gcc-2.95.2 .when i tried
using the -fPIC option ,it compiles ...ok...but the
resultant shared object is a wrong one.(very small
size fileand gets runtime errors with applications
using it)I tried other things like gcc -lc -lgcc with
no luck.

similar error(all same symbols ) came ...when i used
my gcc without linking the libraries nsl and and
pcap.a.

I will appreciate your help

It must be a different problem.  -fPIC is the correct solution for the
problem you're running into.  A work-around (that would cause the
generation of a less efficient shared library) is to link using
-mimpure-text.
