Sorry I didn't get back more quickly, but I had to dig up the
information.  First, thanks for the quick fix.

The library in question came to us in binary form.  It was generated by
Cadence Design Systems as part of the Open Access software
( http://openeda.si2.org/ ).  Anyway, looking at it with strings, it
looks like it was built with gcc 3.2.3.  This is an old version of the
library.

Thanks again for a great tool.
