building shared libraries for native

[Craig E Rasmussen]

I'm having trouble getting native calls to work.  I'm using JDK-1.1.3
and the simple HelloWorld example segfaults.  My guess is that the 
problem is that I'm not creating the shared objects correctly. I'm
using gcc with the -shared option to create an a.out file which I rename
to libhello.so.  I think this is not the right thing to do.

Many thanks
