Fix the "@gprel relocation against dynamic symbol xxx" linker error. Variables defined in the link unit and small enough to be put in the short data section will have a gp-relative access sequence (using the @gprel relocation). It is invalid to have @gprel relocations in shared libraries, because they are to be resolved by the static linker and not the dynamic linker. The -fpic option will cause @ltoff relocations for @gprel relocations, but the side-effects are untested (if any). Instead, disable/eliminate the short data section to achieve the same.
