inline assembly as PIC code?

[Jim Marshall <jim dot marshall at wbemsolutions dot com>]

Hi,
 I am trying to compile OpenSLP 
(http://openslp.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/openslp/trunk/openslp/common/) 
on Solaris Sparc 9 using gcc 3.4.6 and the Solaris ld. OpenSLP has some 
common code that gets compiled into a library (.a file) which then gets 
included into a shared object and a executable. When compiling the 
shared object I get the following errors:

Text relocation remains                         referenced
   against symbol                  offset      in file
sparc_atomic_add_32                 0x14 
../common/.libs/libcommonlibslp.
a(slp_atomic.o)
sparc_atomic_xchg_32                0x44 
../common/.libs/libcommonlibslp.
a(slp_atomic.o)
ld: fatal: relocations remain against allocatable but non-writable sections
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Both of these functions are declared with inline assembly (see below). 
When I force the compiler to use the GNU ld it compiles fine with out 
error. I was wondering if anyone here could tell me if there is a way to 
make the compiler generate PIC code for the asm, or is this something 
that has to be done to the asm code for that?

Thanks in advance
