I removed the -shared argument and the executable now looks a lot better interms of the vaddr and
program headers etc.  I used "powerpc-linux-gcc -Wall -mcpu=860 -fpic -o bjs1 bjs1.c".  I tried
with -fPIC, -fpic and without either.  The program still does not run however.  The output of
objdump -p  is below.
Does this look OK ?
Any suggestions for debugging the code or the shared libraries ?

Thanks,
Brendan Simon.
