On FreeBSD it is in libc.so. I thought that since 'cc' is used to create libICE.so, it was implicitly linked against -lc, based on the comment in bsdLib.rules: #ifndef BaseShLibReqs #define BaseShLibReqs /* -lc implied by $(CC) */ #endif If I add it explicitly it solves the problem. Maybe it needs to be added explicitly in OpenBSDLib.rules too?
