Statically linked application gives error in dlopen()

[Muthu_T]

Hi,

Scenario 1: RedHat AS2.1

   If I statically link an application which uses dlopen(), then the
executable
Works fine in AS2.1 and 8.0. But in 9.0 dlopen() gives the following
error:

/lib/tls/libc.so.6: unexpected reloc type 0x0e


Scenario 2: RH 8.0

   If I statically link an application in RedHat 8.0, then the
executable works
Fine in 8.0, but in 9.0 dlopen() gives the following error:

cannot handle file 'libc.so.6' with TLS data


Please forget about the GPL/LGPL issues. For some reasons I don't want
to create dynamic applications.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
