__ctype_b,__ctype__tuppers & RH9: linking with older libraries

[Yakov Lerner]

Our application builds OK on RH8. But on RH9 I get
linking errors:
        undefined reference to __ctype_toupper
        undefined reference to __ctype_b
We use third-party .a libraries which reference those
__ctype_b and __ctype_toupper. When comparing definitions
in libc between RH8 and RH9, I see that in RH9 libc
they are defined differently that in RH8, namely suffixed with
'@GLIBC_2.0':
             rh9 % nm -A /lib/libc.so.6 | grep __ctype
             /lib/libc.so.6:00133d58 D [EMAIL PROTECTED]
             /lib/libc.so.6:00133d64 D [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Question:
1. Is there any linker trick that allows me to define
equivalency of '__ctype_b' with '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' and
thus allow me to pass linking with older libraries ?
2. Which other redhat mailing lists are better siotable for
this question ?
