i have another question along these lines.

why doesn't gcc fail when it's told to create a .so using objects that are
not PIC? is it because it might possibly work?

it would be a lot easier to track down a compilation failure than
backtracking after a dlopen problem and the underlying problem wouldn't be
ignored as much as it is now.
