I'm having trouble building a shared library using components from the ocaml
standard library on my x86_64 box.  I built ocaml 3.09.0 with:
BYTECCCOMPOPTS=-fno-defer-pop -Wall -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_REENTRANT -fPIC
NATIVECCCOMPOPTS=-Wall -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_REENTRANT -fPIC
NATIVECCPROFOPTS=-Wall -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_REENTRANT -fPIC
SUPPORTS_SHARED_LIBRARIES=true
BNG_ARCH=amd64

, but the standard library seems to still have some R_X86_64_32S relocations
in it.

I don't understand ELF very well so I'm kind of lost :) Can anyone give any
pointers?

The pcre.o used to build pcre.cmxa also has some rodata's in it.
