I just finished the 3.1 beta2 build (SunOS 4.1.2, CFront 2.1, SparcStation IPX) 
and saw the same as you. I patched OS/file.c in order to get the InterViews 
library, but I noticed that idemo, ibuild, and idraw didn't link properly 
(though they installed just the same). All had the following message:

ld: Undefined symbol
   ivInputHandler::transformer() const
   ivInputHandler::repick(int,ivHit&)
Compilation failed
*** Error code 2

I can't explain why this occured; these two are defined. I went back to each 
directory and performed a make and an install. After this, all three 
worked (so far) just fine.
