[Elftoolchain-developers] Static PIC or shared library builds on Linux

[Reid K. <rn...@go...>]

I'm on Ubuntu 10.04, and I want to link libelf, libdwarf, and libelftc
into a shared library I'm building for symbol lookup.  I tried editing
mk/os.Linux to set MKPIC to "yes", but things seem to be going very
wrong.  Each .c file gets turned into a .so file, and I end up with a
lib(elf|dwarf)_pic.a file.  There happens to be a libdwarf.c file, so
when the build system tries to link addr2line with -ldwarf, it picks
up libdwarf.so instead of libdwarf.a, and the build fails.

I think for my purposes I can just life libdwarf_pic.a, libelf_pic.a,
and libelftc_pic.a, but it would be nice if the build didn't fail.
