More information:

-r, -i, --relocatable Generate relocatable output

-shared, -Bshareable Create a shared library -pie, --pic-executable Create a position independent executable

Isn't the fact we pass -pie and -r a bit redundant, especially when creating a library??

NOTICE:

The new binutils-2.21 is not allowing -r -shared to be used together. I'd have to look at the options; but, I've attached a log below with the error.
