you should probably build your 'bionic_lib_x86' library as a shared
object. To do that, add the following line to your 'bionic_lib_x86.mk' file:

  SHARED_LIB = yes

For validating the command-line arguments passed to the compiler, you
may append 'VERBOSE=' (without the quotes) to the make command when
building. The -fPIC argument should be there.
