You've obviously misunderstood what "static" is supposed to do in file
scope. It should create a variable that is private to the resulting
module/object file. This means that it can't be refered to directly
from other modules/object files. And if you look, you'll see that
rand_meth is only refered to in rand_lib.c, nowhere else. So I can't
really understand why the binder needs to do any extra magic to
resolve it...
n2xjk> I made the same change on AIX, and it operates the same whether
n2xjk> the "static" is in rand_lib or not.
The way it should work...
