Problem using Tcl library for my application

Hi

I need to build a shared library for the Tcl/Tk version 8.0p2 on AIX
5.1
platform. I am facing the the following errors while using the compiler
'gcc' and the linker as

SHLIB_LD = /tcldist/tcl8.0/unix/ldAix /bin/ld -G -bhalt:4 -bM:SRE
-bE:lib.exp -H512 -T512 -bnoentry -bexpall

It is giving core dump when I am trying to run some other application
with
it.

Using 'gdb' on the core dump gives the following:

"Core was generated by `wish8.3'.
Program terminated with signal 4, Illegal instruction.

Part of the Loader Symbol Table Information for the library is as
follows:

I know it is not supposed to give 'noIMid'. But nothing seems to be
working here.

Please let me know if anyone knows how I can resolve this error.

I need to use only 'gcc' or 'xlc' compiler, so please give the
solution with this compiler alone, as this is reqd for my application
to
run.
