Hi Ian,
Couldn't resolve this issue yet. :(
As you said, "That means that it can only be referenced from within the executable, not from a shared library."
So it seems this symbol is being referenced in crtbegin.o. If so then how to aviod it?
Thanks,
Rajat.

Please reply to the mailing list, not just to me.
As the error message says, the symbol is marked as hidden in crtbegin.o.
That means that it can only be referenced from within the executable,
not from a shared library.
