The local_symtab_size symtab is caused by the fine differences between IRIX ELF and ABI ELF. More recent binutils versions switched to ABI ELF as the default. Not using -mlong-calls results in ``Relocation overflow'' messages. That's not the case here, so this option probably was used. Error messages about _gp_disp proof that the module contains PIC code that is has not been built using -mno-abicalls -fno-pic. Ralf
