System V (SysV) has a defined model for accessing the program and imported data and code from other models. If required, the linker automatically generates the required Procedure Linkage Table (PLT) and Global Offset Table (GOT) sections.
Position independent codeSysV shared libraries are compiled with position independent
code using the --apcs=/fpic compiler command-line
option.
The linker command-line option --fpic must
also be used to declare that a shared library is position independent
because this affects the construction of the PLT and GOT sections.
Note
By default, the linker produces an error message if the command-line
option --shared is given without the --fpic options.
If you must create a shared library that is not position independent, you
can turn the error message off by using --diag_suppress=6403.
