newlib libc.a (linkr.o) problem: unresolved symbol '_link'

["Emanuel" <tubooboo at ngine dot de>]

hy all,

i really tried hard to find info on this somewhere on the net, but something
seems
to be really strange about the reentrant link functions in my version of
newlib,
specifics:
 - cygwin latest
 - newlib 1.8.2 compiled for sh4 without troubles

i was able to happily link all sorts of programs before, but now that I
tried
the snes9x code, although compiling just fine, it stops linking with one
unresolved external that I cannot really track down, since I think it is
internal
to newlib itself, have a look:

/usr/local/sh-elf/lib/ml/m4-single-only/libc.a(linkr.o): In function
`link_r':
../../../../../../../newlib-1.8.2/newlib/libc/reent/linkr.c:64: undefined
reference
to `_link'

I am not very familiar what these do in newlib, so if anyone can give me any
hints
on how to resolve that, it would be greatly appreciated!

thanks a lot, and keep up the great work on newlib
