    I am using aix 6.1 machines  
    xlC Version: 11.01.0000.0011  
     
    I have a share file (so) whose size is 2.1 GB. how can i link this file?  
     
    Let say name of file is libab-g.so present in /path1/  
    I tried using   
        
        xlC -brtl -L/path1 -lab-g     
     
        ld: 0706-006 Cannot find or open library file: -l ab-g
        ld:open(): A file or directory in the path name does not exist.
     
    and if i try directly 
     
        xlC -brtl /path1/libab-g.so then it says:
     
        ld: 0706-005 Cannot find or open file: /path1/libab-g.so
        ld:open(): Value too large to be stored in data type.
     
    Do i need to add any other command line option?  
    I tried using -brtl but result is same.
     
    My guess is problem is because of size, is because if i build optimized version of this file whose size is around 600 MB then it works fine.
