Yes, they're in libusbhid. I noticed that nm wasn't showing them in
the XFree86 binary though, so I put
-Wl,--whole-archive/no-whole-archive around -lusbhid. That got the
symbols included as undefined ("U" in the nm output), but I still got 
the unresolved symbol errors when starting X. So then I tried
-Wl,--whole-archive /usr/lib/libusbhid.a -Wl,--no-whole-archive; the
functions are now included in the XFree86 binary ("T" in the nm
output), but still getting unresolved symbols.

I have no clue how XF86's loader works... anyone have some thoughts on
why it's not finding the symbols?
