Ah I have one way ! To get a non-zero .so I left off the "-no-whole-archive -lots". I have a .so thats 567952 in size Then I used "strip ibcpml_ev5.so" to remove symbols. Java now runs and gives me a version number. java version "1.3.1" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition Classic VM (build 1.3.1-1, native threads, jit) what though is the -lots mean ?
