Hi
I tried putting libkernel32.a at the first as well as the last of 
the libraries in the final linking of gdb.exe but seems to have no 
difference and continues to display the same errors.

I'm surprised !
If its a redifinition of a function then could possibly think of 
order of the library, bcos the linker puts the address of the 
first occurance of the function which it gets while linking but 
how does the order matter to  "undefined reference" ?

Do I need to replace the libkernel32.a by any newer version? or 
any other suggestions please?

Regards
Prasanna S K
