No I am just saying that both jpeg_xxx_mmx.c files contain asm code handwritten. And even if I compile them with the -fPIC flag, this asm code is non-pic due to code like the one I posted in the previous mail. So once compile it is not valid for a shared library. And I do not know enought of asm to write it the right way for a shared library. So I asked if someone with more asm experience could look at the code and tell me what is wrong with it. I red a gentoo introduction about non-pic fix http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/hardened/pic-fix-guide.xml I think the 8.5 section is related to my problem. I am using the gcc 4.3 from debian/unstable. I tryed to explain this in my previous mail. Is it clearer ? Sorry for my poor english, It is not my mother tongue. > Or are you saying that the code was not compiled with -fPIC, and > therefore you can not use it in a shared library?

I understand but thr poblem is with the asm code in the file. Frederic
