I have a problem linking my code using GNU g++. On Solaris, I create a bunch
of shared libraries using g++.  One of the libraries used to be a C library
that I 'converted' to ANSI C. It contains some global variables (I am not
sure this is relevant but ...).
Whenever I link that library with

g++ -shared -o

I get the following:

g++ -g -shared -o libiSearch.so    fields.o heap.o dia.o plurals.o se.o
Text relocation remains                       referenced
     against symbol                  offset      in file

ld: fatal: relocations remain against allocatable but non-writable sections

When I link statically everything is OK.  If I use

ld -G

the library gets created but my executables crash because it seems that a
bunch of const String& variables defined in another library have not been
initialized (they are null or bad references).

I have been strugling with this for a couple of days and I am running out of
ideas.  Anyone who might know or might have experienced similar problems?
Thanks a lot for your help.
