1. I am writing a JIT module to octave. Each time I change the code in
my module I have to link the .o file I produce ( I call it jit.o) with
octave. This takes lot of time. Is there a better way?

2. I though using shared libaries I can speed up the above process. I
tried to produce shared libraries by specfying -enable-dl and
-enable-shared in the configure script. But I get a huge list of
errors, which terminated with the following message:

ld: fatal: relocations remain against allocatable but non-writable sections
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I run the gmake in solaris platform. Any help would be appreciated.
