I just tried putting the .a files first, before any of the object files, as 
well as before and after the object file where the undefined references 
appear, but in every case I get the libtool warnings that it's not linking the 
library and then of course the resulting undefined references.

Where should I be placing the libraries on the command line so that libtool 
will not ignore them?

Thanks,
Adam.
