undefined references in libc_nonshared.a when linking .so

[chris cross <xcross_ibm at yahoo dot com>]

Hi,
Trying to link a shared object on FC3 and get some
confusing undefined references in libc_nonshared.a. I
isolated it to when I pass -shared as a linker option,
as in "gcc -Wl,-shared". When I use the gcc option,
"gcc -shared" I don't get the problem. 

If I google one of the missing references I see
sporadic hits of people crying that they can't build
their favorite program. A few discuss linker scripts
but don't end with a conclusive answer.

I don't know much about linking nor do I know much
about how gcc invokes ld. This smells like some kind
of mismatch between glibc and binutils. Can anyone
help?

thanks,
chris
