Odd Linux linking error

[Jeremy DeHaan]

I built some C shared libraries on Mint a while back and 
everything with my binding worked out fine. I decided to try out 
ubuntu and on getting everything set up there(using the same 
previously built shared libs), I am getting an error that I am 
unfamiliar with.

/usr/bin/ld: -f may not be used without -shared

I have tried googling it with little success, so I was wondering 
if someone here could at least help to point me in the right 
direction. I'm not building a shared library so the addition of a 
shared switch doesn't seem like the way to go.(Also, I tried 
adding it anyways, and it just gave me different errors)

Is this a D mistake on my part? Should I recompile the libs for 
ubuntu specifically? Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks as usual!
