I've spent some time in ld.c lately:

since I had to retro-fit the new archive support into the 2.10.1BSD +
patches posted to comp.bugs.2bsd version of ld I needed for 2.11BSDpl0 :)
Ideally, nobody would be able to tell my retrofits from the usenet patch
that's also in this diff...

The error comes from lookloc. This is called for external type
relocations. It searches the local symbol table for something that
matches the relocation entry. This error happens when it can't find
it...
Someone who actually looked at the source:

instead of just guessing. Give that man a star!
