You're trying to generate a shared object ('-G' option to 'ld', '-o
sample.so' for the object) but you're (probably) linking against non-PIC
code.

Try including your compiler's option to generate position independent code
(PIC) in the CFLAGS for everything, even the object files that go into
the "static" libraries.  You will need to rebuild everything.

There might be multiple things that can trigger "Text relocation remains",
but most of the time the first thing you should look at is to make sure
everything that's going into your shared object was generated PIC.
