On FreeBSD, you build a shared library like this:
ld -Bshareable -o libsocks5_sh.so.1.0 msg.so protocol.so ... -lcompat
Just use "ld -Bshareable" in place of "gcc -shared". (I also added major
and minor version numbers to the name of your output file.)
In my opinion, it's a bug that "gcc -shared" doesn't work. But nobody
(including me) has ever bothered to fix that.
