I used to have these seemingly unjustified linker errors all the time. With
3.2 sometimes, and even more often with 3.3.

Sometimes "Ant clean" helps. What really did the trick for me, however, was
to ask the linker to search libraries multiple times. Typically, I have ant
files that do:

	 <exec executable="gcj">
		 <arg line="-mwindows -s res/*.o  -Xlinker --start-group x1.a x2.a
x3.a -Xlinker --end-group -o myexe --main=MainClass"/>
           </exec>

Note that this probably requires you to create archives from you application
*.o files, prior to linking them:

        <apply failonerror="true" executable="ar" parallel="true">
            <fileset dir="obj/*" includes="**/*.o"/>
            <arg line="-cr x1.a"/>
       </apply>
