[Magic-dev] Re: further problems building on OS X

This would *not* be the proper approach, since the dynamic libraries
should not be duplicating routines of other libraries that will be
present when they are linked;  and since libutils will use variables
and routines from other libraries in tclmagic.dylib, you will eventually
have to link to everything at the same time (i.e., a static library)
to get it to work.  The solution is giving the right options to the
linker, but I don't know enough about OS-X to know what changes are
needed to the options, or why it doesn't work now.

> I noticed symbol.map contents has a "MAGIC_7.3" section, is that correct?

This is clearly wrong and should be changed.  On the other hand, I've
never seen it have any effect on the compilation under Linux.
