>Description:
	While compiling IBM's ICU (International Components for Unicode)
	library, ld.so fails to resolve a symbol.  The name is unknown,
	because it is not displayed.

/usr/obj/pkgsrc/local/icu/work/icu/source/common/libicu-uc.so: Undefined symbol "" (reloc type = 12, symnum = 4)

	At least ld.so has a bug in displaying the error message.
	The reason why the error occurs is unknown; problem in
	g++, or in gas, ld, ld.elf_so,..., possibly in ICU itself.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Compile ICU-1.5 with the pkgsrc skelton found at
	http://dale.hauN.ORG/pub/NetBSD-pkgsrc/icu.tar.gz
	Note that it works fine on i386/ELF.
