Hi Ian, I have resolved this problem. My build script was using the std. GCC assembler and Solaris linker. Modifying the make file to use the Solaris assembler and linker fixed my relocation problem. Thanks for your inputs.

I don't know where the problem is here, but it doesn't seem to be with g++. The linker does have a -X option; perhaps this is intended by -Wl,-X? But the linker's -X option is rarely used. > ld: warning: relocation error: file /vobs/ecem_ucu/make/lib/ecectl/solaris/libecectl_appl.o: section .rela.stab: skipping null relocation record This seems very strange. You appear to be using the Solaris linker, and I assume you are also using the Solaris assembler. The compiler does not create relocation records; the assembler does. I do not know why the Solaris assembler would create an object file that the Solaris linker complains about. > ld: fatal: relocation error: R_SPARC_UA32: file .rela.eh_frame: section: /vobs/ecem_ucu/make/lib/ecectl/solaris/libecectl_appl.o: offset: 0x320: relocation requires reference symbol This one, on the other hand, could be gcc's fault, or it could be the assembler's fault. You're going to need to look at that .o file and how it was created to find out what is wrong. Ian
