Hoewever, I get a new error message when I try to do manually the link command: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- virtualisation# cc -static -Wl,-I/libexec/ld.elf_so -Wl,-pie -o zsh main.o `cat stamp-modobjs` -lc_pic -ltermcap_pic -lrt_pic -lm_pic ld: /usr/lib/libc.a(errx.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.text' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/lib/libc.a: could not read symbols: Bad value ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't understand well the meaning of "R_X86_64_32" since I compile in 64 bits (what mean "32"?) as you can see in the static version of the executable: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- virtualisation# file /usr/pkg/bin/zsh /usr/pkg/bin/zsh: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, for NetBSD 6.1.5, stripped ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
