Linking Dynamically-Loaded Functions |

It is very easy to build dynamically-loaded object files under
ULTRIX. ULTRIX does not have any sharedlibrary mechanism and hence
does not place any restrictions on the dynamic loader interface. On
the other hand, we had to (re)write a non-portable dynamic loader
ourselves and could not use true shared libraries. Under ULTRIX,
the only restriction is that you must produce each object file with
the option -G 0. (Notice that that's the numeral ``0'' and not the
letter ``O''). For example,
# simple ULTRIX example
% cc -G 0 -c foo.c
produces an object file called foo.o that can then be
dynamically loaded into Postgres. No additional loading or
link-editing must be performed.
