Ok.

The `U' means there is a reference to this symbol, not that it is
defined.  So it looks like this symbol is indeed not in the archive.

Does `ar t' tell you that the .o file is in the archive?
If not, then that is the problem.
If the .o is in the archive, extract it somewhere and look at that .o.
Perhaps somehow the .a was built incorrectly?
You could try removing the .a/.la/.so files and rebuilding.
