Yes, noted. I'm working with an inherited codebase. Platform is Linux on
x86_64.

I'm sure that is due to the objects inside libei.a (most likely) not being
built with -fpic, which is what would have had to happen for them to load
up in the dlopen() of my driver.

I suppose I could try to rebuild libei as a shared lib (why isn't it to
start with?). That feels strange though, because is no one else using
libei inside a driver? Does everyone just use only manual encoding from
erlang to C when it comes to drivers. Does everyone just use external
process ports when they use libei?
