Those are internal functions to apache, like helper functions. Your probably
missing an object file in your ld command, I don't have it open right now, but
just run nm blah.o|grep ap_palloc on all the object files running around in the
apache directory, and you'll find it. (Notice that most of these functions
"look" similar to C calls, that's because they sort of are. There like cross
platform wrapper functions for apache, pretty cool huh?) Oh, yes and nm's
output will tell you two things, where the function is "used", and where its
"defined". BTW: I think you're looking for libap.a, I just poked through that
archive of object files, and it contained the symbols you're looking for. I
don't know if AIX supports linking in archive files, but if not just link in by
hand all the object files in that directory. (apache_1.blah/src/ap/*.o)
If nm shows the symbols in place, I would say it's probably the AIX linkers
fault. I don't know much about AIX specifically but I have heard lots of
people complain about their linker :-(.
Thanks,
