The file type should read "shared object" instead of "relocatable". 
The correct procedure for building a udf is in the manual, under
"Compiling and Installing User-definable Functions".  For FreeBSD, you
can pretty much use the example in the docs:

gcc -I /usr/local/include/mysql -shared -o udf_myfunc.so myfunc.c

If your file is c++, add "-felide-constructors -fno-implicit-templates
-fno-exceptions fno-rtti", just to match the rest of mysqld (not sure
if it's required or not).
