Agreed.  The apparent lack of that is what needs to be diagnosed.

Correct me if I'm wrong. The class vnl_numeric_traits is defined in core/vnl/vnl_numeric_traits.h, so the symbol should be in libvnl.so:
$ nm -D libvnl.so | grep vnl_numeric_traits | c++filt
R vnl_numeric_traits<float>::maxval
R vnl_numeric_traits<double>::maxval

The icam project (contrib/brl/bbas/bpgl/icam) just references some member variables of vnl_numeric_traits, therefore it is not suprise there is no vnl_numeric_traits in libicam.so.
