linking static libraries into a shared library is wrong. maybe someone else will help you create a PIC static library, but i wont. sorry. >> pic adds a lot of overhead with x86 due to register pressure > > Can you point me to link or something that discusses this in more detail? google for it. pic on x86 removes ebx from general register usage. while your .so will have textrels and thus prevent sharing of the text region, openssl will run faster. -mike ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
