You're actually asking gcc to make a normal executable in stead of a shared
library here. That's why the linker complains about no main entry point.
Use `ld' to generate the shared library (-shared option, see `man ld')
or use gcc and give the ld options to gcc via -Wl,.....
(I think the -shared option can even be given to gcc directly.)
I think you also have to compile your code with the -fpic option.
But I'm not so familiar with these things.
Good luck,
