1) Compile up all your source files with '-fpic' (-fPIC will not work!)

2) link them together with:

        ld -Bshareable -o libfoo.so.1.1 <object files>

3) You may also want to add the -x flag to the line above or follow it with a:

        strip -x libfoo.so.1.1

    to remove all the Lnnn local symbols that gcc adds (reduces the size quite
nicely).
