On x86 you'll get a bunch of TEXTREL relocations, so resulting shared objects will work, but runtime linker will need to modify their .text segment during load and hence loaded code won't be shared between processes (such shared objects shouldn't be called "shared" at all :). On other archituctures you'll get a linker error upfront. -- http://fossarchy.blogspot.com/
