Putting 'V=1' or 'VERBOSE=1' on the make command line usually gives
more information than just "CCLD any2ppm"; then we can see if it at
least tries to link against the library containing the symbols.

Or perhaps something went wrong earlier and they didn't end up in the
library at all.

Or there is a problem with visibility and the symbols are hidden.

Lots of possibilities; in other words, we need more details :)
