I think I may have found at least part of the problem with the
libkern.a.  The members that are referenced as 'not found' are not in
the library.

Duuh.

I looked at the Makefile, and it appears that if you do a make clean
and make in the libkern directory, the bulk of the stuff that isn't 
'quad support' stuff doesn't get added to the library.  If it is
supposed to, I couldn't find the reference.

Either way, once the library is built, the referenced files are not
there.
