The semantics for compiling/linking on BG/P with XL compilers is not that hard. All objects need to be compiled with the -qpic flag. Shared libraries are built with the -qmkshrobj -qnostaticlink flags. Final executables must be linked without the -qmkshrobj flag but with the -qnostaticlink flag. xlc also insists that all libraries linked

Here is the problem for BuildSystem right now. We just need to fix it to put -qnostaticlink flag in LDFLAGS. That should put it in the shared object link along with -qmkshrobj fro sharedLibraryFlags, and in the executable. Matt

are .so, so trying to link in static library archives will confuse it as well.
