Help with gdbm-1.5

I'm having difficulty getting gdbm 1.5 to compile correctly, so I'm
appealing to the net in frustration mostly.  

First, the platform: NeXT running NeXTStep 2.0
Second, the compiler: NeXT's cc

I can successfully build gdbm.a, but when I try to build testgdbm,
a linker error occurs:

/bin/ld: Undefined symbols:
_gdbm_errno

Compiling testgdbm using the following rule works successfully, but it's
not really how I'd like to use gdbm. :)

cc testgdbm.c gdbm.a global.o -o testgdbm

This allows testgdbm to compile cleanly and function correctly apparently.

I suspect that this is some sort of NeXT silliness since I was able to
get this package to work cleanly on a Sun4.

Any ideas, fixes, and WAG's that sound good will be much appreciated.
Please e-mail me, and I will summarize to the net as warrented by the
number of responses :)

Thanks in Advance

erik
