[root@ultra10] nm Xorg | grep xf86Match

There is no xf86MatchSbusInstances. This is really strange

bash-3.00$ pwd
/opt/sandbox/opt/pkg.obj/x11/xorg-server/work.ultra10/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/common
bash-3.00$ ls xf86sbusBus*
xf86sbusBus.c  xf86sbusBus.h  xf86sbusBus.o
bash-3.00$ nm xf86sbusBus.o | grep xf86Match
[36]    |      3492|    1764|FUNC |GLOB |0    |2      |xf86MatchSbusInstances

I struggle to understand how this symbol can go missing. Maybe some Makefile didn't include some object files??

bash-3.00$ pwd
/opt/sandbox/opt/pkg.obj/x11/xorg-server/work.ultra10/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/common
bash-3.00$ nm libxf86.a | grep xf86Match
[88]    |     13388|     492|FUNC |GLOB |0    |2      |xf86MatchDevice

How do all *.o files get linked into the final Xorg binary? What is libxf86.a for, does it get linked into Xorg binary, or is it used somewhere else?
