I've seen a couple of these recently, usually the make process messed up
somewhere along the row and didn't apply recent changes or something
like that. The effect is, the linker links everything it can't find and
doesn't realise there's "something missing".
So far I've always managed to get around this problem by making clean
and restarting the process. Check the make logs that your code gets compiled
w/o any errors. Of course, you might still have a bug in your Makefile -
one way to inspect libraries is objdump (e.g. objdump -t _tool.so). You
should definitely triple check your Makefile.am.
