I am seeing this: /usr/bin/ld: pgmreceiver: hidden symbol `__dso_handle' in /usr/lib/gcc/x86_6 4-redhat-linux/4.1.1/crtbegin.o is referenced by DSO 26 /usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Nonrepresentable section on output 27 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status I am calling ld directly. I am building 2 separate libraries and trying to link with the dynamic libraries. The libraries are being created with: -fvisibility=default -shared -soname foo.so -lc mylib1.a mylib2.a I don't have the option of either rebuilding the compiler (suggested in one post at http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/libstdc++/2000-06/msg00134.html) or ceasing to call ld directly. The version I'm using is: g++ --version g++ (GCC) 4.1.1 20070105 (Red Hat 4.1.1-52) The linker I'm using is: ld --version GNU ld version 2.17.50.0.6-2.el5 20061020 Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
