Words fail me ... and this is a commercial big-bucks Unix ...
Thanks for the analysis.
Erm ... I need to find a way forward on this. Should I submit a bug to
Compaq against Digital Unix's linker, or submit a bug against OpenSSL to ask
for a workaround to be built in for Digital Unix platforms ?
And anyway, if Digital Unix won't support "PIC" (whatever it is) should I
give up on building OpenSSL/MOD_SSL/Apache with DSO modules ?
(Is this the wrong list to ask that question on ?)
I suppose maybe it's just MOD_SSL that can't be shared.
