there was an issue where Apple stub libraries that were shipped with 
CodeWarrior Pro6 were missing CFM68k fragments, this sounds like it. 
Is the error message referring to ThreadsLib? then that's definitely 
the issue you're seeing.

I have reported that problem to Apple and it is fixed in the latest 
UniversalHeaders, the solution is thus to upgrade your 
UniversalHeaders,
you can get recent ones from e.g.
ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/Development_Kits/CarbonLib_1.2.5GM_SDK.img.bin
or from http://connect.apple.com if you are an ADC member (free BTW)

Hope this helps,

Cheers,

Daniel
