This is a result of trying to create a shared library out of non-PIC.
That's Solaris with Sun ld, right? Make sure you only use PIC for
shared libraries. Ugly work arounds include using GNU ld, that
doesn't flag an error (which is wrong, but it serves as a
work-around), or linking with -mimpure-text. Both of these
alternatives result in less efficient dynamic libraries, both in terms
of load time and of memory use, because relocations have to be
performed in the text section at load time, and so it can't be shared
by multiple processes.
