gcc error at link-edit - help needed

[Derbey Nadia]

Hi,

I'm writing a library that calls the stat() syscall.
Building the library works fine.
When trying to compile a test program that uses this library I get the 
following error during link-edit:
---
/usr/bin/ld: tst_lib_1: hidden symbol `stat' in 
/usr/lib/libc_nonshared.a(stat.oS) is referenced by DSO
/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Nonrepresentable section on output
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [tst_lib_1] Error 1
---

Does anybody have an idea of what is happening?

Versions:
gcc: gcc version 3.4.2 20041017 (Red Hat 3.4.2-6.fc3)
ld:  GNU ld version 2.15.92.0.2 20040927


Note: I tried to compile a small test program that calls stat() without 
any intermediate library, and everything worked fine. So I'm wondering 
whether the problem comes from the way I'm building my library. Here's 
the line extracted from my Makefile:

$(CC) -o $@ -shared -Wl,--whole-archive -Wl,--soname -Wl,$(VSONAME) 
-nostdlib -nostartfiles $(COBJS)

Please Cc me, since I'm not subscribed

Thanks for your help,
Nadia
