Use the program "nm" on the .a files.  You are looking for the name of
the missing symbols plus a capital letter "T".  If you see that, then
the symbols are defined in that .a file.  I'm assuming your nm is like
mine here.  I'm not familiar with the SCO nm.

Anyone out there with a SCO box have any other ideas?
