B.2.30 -G

Produce a shared object rather than a dynamically linked executable. This option is passed to ld(1), and cannot be used with the -dn option.

When you use the -G option, the compiler does not pass any default -l options to ld. If you want the shared library to have a dependency on another shared library, you must pass the necessary -l option on the command line.

If you are creating a shared object by specifying -G along with other compiler options that must be specified at both compile time and link time, make sure that those same options are also specified when you link with the resulting shared object.

When you create a shared object, all the object files that are compiled with -xarch=v9 must also be compiled with an explicit -xcode value as documented in B.2.80 -xcode[=v].
