<p dir="ltr">>So can we just change the text "relocation XXX <span style="color:rgb(33,33,33); font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:16px; background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">cannot be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC.</span>"<br>
</p>
<p dir="ltr">>to "<span style="color:rgb(33,33,33); font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:16px; background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">cannot be used against shared object; recompile with -fPIC.</span>" in errorDynRel() ?<br>
</p>
<p dir="ltr">> </p>
<p dir="ltr">>For x64 that should work I think. Not sure if there another reasons to error out particular relocation except<br>
</p>
<p dir="ltr">>possible overflow in runtime ?<br>
</p>
<p dir="ltr"><br>
</p>
<p dir="ltr">quick fix:<br>
</p>
<p dir="ltr">* against shared SYMBOL<br>
