You need to copy and paste the gcc flags that project builder uses by default for a kext into your static library target. Specifically in this case you are missing the -mlong-branch build flag.

After considerable effort I finally have the kext building. But when I try to kextload it I get these obscure errors: [dhcp02:/System/Library/Extensions] cashwell% sudo kextload -t netShim.kext/ kextload: extension netShim.kext/ appears to be valid kld(): /System/Library/Extensions/netShim.kext/Contents/MacOS/netShim relocation overflow for relocation entry 32 in section (__TEXT,__text) (displacement too large) kld(): /System/Library/Extensions/netShim.kext/Contents/MacOS/netShim relocation overflow for relocation entry 53 in section (__TEXT,__text) (displacement too large) kld(): /System/Library/Extensions/netShim.kext/Contents/MacOS/netShim relocation overflow for relocation entry 58 in section (__TEXT,__text) (displacement too large) kextload: kld_load_from_memory() failed for module /System/Library/Extensions/netShim.kext/Contents/MacOS/netShim kextload: a link/load error occured for kernel extension netShim.kext/ load failed for extension netShim.kext/ I've tried "otool -r -v" on the executable but don't know how to interpret the output. Does anyone have clue what kld is complaining about here? How would I map the "entry numbers" in the error message to the otool output? (Are the decimal? Do they count from 0 or 1?, etc.) Perhaps there's some compiler or libtool option that I should be using to specify "wide" displacements when building either the library or the kext? Any clues would be appreciated.
