undefined symbol __dso_handle

[Pradip Singh <linux_porting at yahoo dot co dot in>]

Hi All,

   Thanks for the reply, i solved out the problem by
linking it to the libgcc library.

Now i have come up with one new problem like as
follows,

during compilation of microwindows, it displays the
following error,

make[2]: Circular
/home/suman/microwin_dynamic/src/lib/ <-
/home/suman/microwin_dynamic/src/lib/ dependency
dropped.
make[1]: Circular
/home/suman/microwin_dynamic/src/lib/ <-

make[2]: ***

make[1]: *** [subdirs] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

what does this "hidden symbol `__dso_handle'" mean,
due to what missing option will this appear.

what command line option i have to provide to solve
this problem.

please guide me towards the correct path.

Thanks in advance.
