Thanks to http://www.well-typed.com/blog/30 I was able to figure out
what I was doing wrong. Replacing "-optl -shared" with just "-shared"
and using "-dynamic" allows linking to complete. :D

I have a project that involves building a shared library containing
code generated by GHC and exposed using the foreign function interface
to other C programs that link against it. I'm able to build a
functioning library without issue on 32bit x86 systems using GHC 6.8.2
and 6.12.3. When I try to build on a 64bit x86 system I get a
relocation error that advises I include -fPIC. Including -fPIC does
not help though. I'm wondering if I'm either doing something wrong or
if this could be a problem with GHC.
I've created and attached a small example that illustrates this issue.
When building on 64bit x86 with GHC 7.0.1 and -fPIC and -dynamic I get
the following error. (Similar with GHC 6.12.3)
/usr/bin/ld: CLibrary.o: relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against
`CLibrary_testFunctionCWrapper_srt' can not be used when making a
shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value
When building on 64bit x86 with GHC 7.0.1 and -fPIC and without
-dynamic I get the following error (Similar with GHC 6.12.3 and 6.8.2)
/usr/bin/ld:
/home/CIRG/ew/local/lib/ghc-7.0.1/base-4.3.0.0/libHSbase-4.3.0.0.a(Base__1.o):
relocation R_X86_64_32S against `a local symbol' can not be used when
making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/home/CIRG/ew/local/lib/ghc-7.0.1/base-4.3.0.0/libHSbase-4.3.0.0.a:
could not read symbols: Bad value
When building on 32bit x86 with GHC 6.12.3 I get no error regardless
of -fPIC or -dynamic.
When building on 32bit x86 with GHC 6.8.2 I get no error regardless of
-fPIC and without -dynamic.
Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks.
