Hey all - I am having some troubling creating .so when linking against openssl 0.9.8. I do not encounter the problem when linking against openssl 0.9.7g. The error appears to be specific to x86_64. The system is a EMT64 processor.
As an example, when linking against a stub that calls SSL_library_init(), I receive the following: ld -soname libtest.so -shared -o libtest.so test.o -L/usr/src/1.3.33/openssl-0.9.8 --whole-archive -lssl -lcrypto -no-whole-archive ld: /usr/src/1.3.33/openssl-0.9.8/libcrypto.a(x86_64cpuid.o): relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against `OPENSSL_cpuid_setup' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC ld: final link failed: Bad value The openssl was config'd as no-shared no-threads -fPIC -DPIC. I am certain that x86_64cpuid.o is compiled with -fPIC. An exert of the build and output of file follows. /usr/bin/perl x86_64cpuid.pl x86_64cpuid.s gcc -I. -I.. -I../include -DDSO_DLFCN -DHAVE_DLFCN_H -fPIC -DPIC -m64 -DL_ENDIAN -DTERMIO -O3 -Wall -DMD32_REG_T=int -DMD5_ASM -c -I. -I.. -I../include -DDSO_DLFCN -DHAVE_DLFCN_H -fPIC -DPIC -m64 -DL_ENDIAN -DTERMIO -O3 -Wall -DMD32_REG_T=int -DMD5_ASM -fPIC -o x86_64cpuid.o x86_64cpuid.s file /usr/src/1.3.33/openssl-0.9.8/crypto/x86_64cpuid.o /usr/src/1.3.33/openssl-0.9.8/crypto/x86_64cpuid.o: ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, AMD x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped. The stable and the snapshots result in the same. The specifics of my environment are: Intel Xeon 2.8 (EMT64 processor) uname -a Linux linux 2.6.11.4-21.7-smp #1 SMP Thu Jun 2 14:23:14 UTC 2005 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux gcc --version gcc (GCC) 3.3.5 20050117 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux) The old binutils are 2.15.94.0.2.2. When I experienced problems, I updated to When I experienced problems, I updated to When I experienced problems, I updated to 2.16.1 (I made sure gcc was calling the new binutils). Both result in failure. Any help is greatly appreciated.
