ld: -shared not supported

[Fernando Ronci]

Hi,

I´m unable to build Perl module Compress-Zlib due to an error in ´ld´.
I´m working on SCO Openserver 5.0.0 with ´ld´ from binutils 2.11.2
Here is the output of ´make´:

[previous lines omitted]
gcc -c -I/usr/local/include -UM_XENIX -DPERL_SCO5 -O6 -m486   
-DVERSION=\"1.14 \" -DXS_VERSION=\"1.14\" -fPIC
-I/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00404/i486-pc sco3.2v5.0/CORE  Zlib.c
Running Mkbootstrap for Compress::Zlib ()
chmod 644 Zlib.bs
LD_RUN_PATH="/usr/local/lib" ld -G -o
blib/arch/auto/Compress/Zlib/Zlib.so  -L/u
sr/local/lib  Zlib.o    -L/usr/local/lib -lz
ld: -shared not supported
make: *** [blib/arch/auto/Compress/Zlib/Zlib.so] Error 1

Manually issuing ´ld -shared´ aborts with ´ld: -shared not supported´
though the -shared switch appears to be legal in ´ld -h´.

I will highly appreciate any hints to fix this.

Thank you,

Fernando Ronci
