Any help is really appreciated.. GCC can create shared libraries with the -shared commandline option. The default is AIX-style shared libraries, but you can use -Wl,-G to compile the library and -Wl,-brtl during the final link to generate SVR4-style libraries. When compiling and linking C++ code, you should use the "g++" driver, not the "gcc" driver. When compiling and linking pthread code, you should use the -pthreads commandline option, which implicitly links with -lpthreads. -p 5000 and -bmap:/home/pkulka/poc/xerces-c-src_2_5_0//obj/libxerces-c25.0.map are IBM xlC compiler options. You need to use the correct GCC commandline options. /usr/lpp/xlC/lib contains libraries for xlC. xlC C++ ABI is not compatible with G++ ABI -- you cannot mix C++ object files produced by the two compilers.
