We have a problem with using dynamic library in SuSE
(SuSE Linux Enterprise Server SLES 8 kernel 2.4.19)

We wrote a sample dynamic library with a function:
/* suse_api.c: Global functions for Library */
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include "suse_api.h"

int suse_strcpy(char* str_dst, char* str_src)
{
        strcpy(str_dst, str_src);
        return 0;
}

And a sample aplication to test the library

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include "suse_api.h"

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
        char str_src[40];
        char str_dst[40];

        strcpy(str_src, "OK");
        strcpy(str_dst, "");

        suse_strcpy(str_dst, str_src);

        printf("%s.\n", str_dst);
        return 0;
}

And the make script
#!/bin/sh
set -e #stop if error occurrs
echo "Building testing library on SuSE/LINUX ..."

gcc -Isrc -c src/suse_api.c -o suse_api.o
gcc -Isrc -c src/suse_test.c -o suse_test.o
ld -dy -G suse_api.o -lc -lnsl -o libsuseapi.so
cp libsuseapi.so /home/myuser/lib
gcc -L/home/myuser/lib suse_test.o -lsuseapi -o suse_test
rm *.o

We get error: Illegal Instruction when trying to run ./suse_test

Can someone help us?
Many thanks.
