ld -defsym option

[S kris]

Hi,

I am trying to link the x.o and sample.a (contains y.o) using ld for 
creating executable.
I have used -defsym xsymbol=ysymbol as the linker option for changing the 
symbol "xsymbol" defined in x.c to the symbol "ysymbol" defined in y.c. But 
i get the error "Undefined symbol 'ysymbol' referenced in x.o". What may be 
the reason for this error? Is this something to do with archive?

Please help me in fixing this?

Thanks

--Kris
