I suspect the linker is being too clever for its own good. There are
some cases where the same sort of thing happens on other platforms.
Look at include/omniORB4/linkHacks.h and, for example,
src/lib/omniORB/orbcore/codeSets.cc. With any luck, you'll be able to
use it to sort out the things that are missing on Mac OS X.

By the way, I'm sorry to have ignored your post from a while ago about
interceptors. Cleaning up the interceptors stuff is on my list of
things to do, but I haven't got around to it yet. When I do get around
to it, I'll consider the issues you mentioned.

Cheers,

Duncan.
