I have tried to load dynamically functions which are in libc.a, such as gethostent ! The loader then complains about: >ld: /lib/libc.a(gethostent.o): object not compiled with -G 0 will not work linking with -A Does anybody know if DEC fixed this in any of the 4.x release of Ultrix. Or in other words: are there versions of libc.a which can be used with dynamic loading or even tools which covert libc.a to a version which can be use with dynamic loading.
