linking libraries by gcc

[Kevin Ma]

Thank you Eljay.
Your hint helped me to find the problem. nm recognizes functions lib1.a, but
complains that "File format not recognized" for files in lib2.a.
Files in lib1 (*.c) were written in C, but files (*.cpp) in lib2 were
written in c++ and compiled with g++.
I changed all compilers/linkers to g++, still has the problem.

Don't tell me I have to convert all the functions in lib2 into C format. :-)

Hmmm.  Then the linker should be able to find them.  Very strange.

Can you do a nm on lib1.a and lib2.a to verify that the missing symbols are
'U' in lib1.a and 'T' in lib2.a.

Thanks,
