I am having a problem when I try to dynamically link code which uses
functions from C libraries (externals).  I sometimes get a message like:

The external function `is_digit_odd' is not available

My workaround for this is to call the function in some statically linked
part of the program.  Is there a better fix for this problem?

Thanks,
