I'm trying to compile emacs 19.25, but the linker fails with the following
error message: "ld: No reference to __DYNAMIC"

I'm wondering what this really means - appart from the obvious, that ld 
can't find any references to something called __DYNAMIC. I guess that it 
has something to do with the shared libraries, but since it isn't in the
sources and the linker expects it I guess it is something the compiler 
should have supplied.

Does anybody know what is going wrong here?

regards,

-- Christian
