Linker error when compiling with GNU C/C++ compilers (SPARC) 3.0. 4

[Harley Ken]

Trying to build and link a shared object/library on Solaris 8, I get the
following error :-

ld: Software Generation Utilities - Solaris-ELF (4.0)
ld: fatal: file /export/home/harleyk/source/libgreet.so: unknown file type
ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to hello

Command line is :-

gcc -o hello hello.c -L/libdir -lgreet

Shared library libgreet.so created with :-

gcc -fpic -c temp.c 
ld -o libgreet.so temp

Source is :-

Hello.c :-
/*hello.c*/
#include <stdio.h>

main ()
{
  hello ();
}

temp.c :-
/*temp.c*/
hello()
{
  printf ("Hell !\n");
}
