Thank you, sir.

The way you told me is the method comew with source release to build 
various shared libraries. I figured out another way to archieve the same 
target: build dynamic linked object with -fpic flag ( the default as with 
BSD release does not recognize -K, which is invoked by -fPIC flag. GNU 
manual states that unless global offset table overflow occurs, -fpic 
shall be shall be used in place of -fPIC. -fPIC does make difference on 
m68k CPU.). Then link the objects with -Bshareable -soname (optional). 
That will come with page demanded shared libirary not stripped file.

Thank you Ruben again.
