Need help! Link failed during compile 0.8a34 version

Appreciate. It works.

Meanwhile I searched something from google newsgroup.
It may explain the reason.

# nm /usr/lib/libresolv.a  | sed "s/[^ ]* //" |sort > a
# nm /usr/lib/libresolv.so | sed "s/[^ ]* //" |sort > so
# diff a so |grep __ns_initparse
  < T __ns_initparse
  > t __ns_initparse
  <         U __ns_initparse

 From 'info nm',   lowercase t means local, uppercase T means global

That's different among libresolv.a and libresolv.so.

No idea why glibc leaves such arrangement.
