On a lark, and because I believe that it's the right thing to use, I 
replaced 'ld' with 'libtool -dynamic' in the above, and got a batch of 
'multiple definition' complaints:

ld: for architecture ppc
ld: multiple definitions of symbol _hiremainder
kernel.o definition of _hiremainder in section (__DATA,__common)
mp.o definition of _hiremainder in section (__DATA,__common)
ld: multiple definitions of symbol _overflow
kernel.o definition of _overflow in section (__DATA,__common)
mp.o definition of _overflow in section (__DATA,__common)
alglin1.o definition of _hiremainder in section (__DATA,__common)
alglin1.o definition of _overflow in section (__DATA,__common)
... [I think every .o in town was mentioned]

Seems curious that the compiles were done with '-fno-common', but common 
shows up in the .o, but that may be my lack of comprehension of this 
area.

This might show a need for one of the special Mac OS X flags 
(flat-namespace, ...).

Justin
