That sounds like a good idea to me.  In the particular case of the problem 
your friend is having, chances are he has some shared object that was built 
without -fPIC, or with a buggy version of GCC that didn't do PIC quite right.
This causes R_ARM_PC24 relocs to leak into shared objects where they can't be 
handled.  I have considered on a couple of occasions adding an explicit error 
message to explain what's wrong, but never got around to it.
