I must be making a stupid mistake but I just don't see it.  I put together a
simple example that shows the problem.  Even though the camlidl library is
found its symbol "camlidl_free" is not.  How can that be?  Can anybody
reproduce the problem or is this some hickup on my system?

Here's what make produces (all files attached):

make extest
camlidl -header ex.idl
ocamlc -c ex.mli
ocamlc -c extest.ml
gcc -c ex.c
gcc -c ex_stubs.c
ocamlc -c ex.ml
ocamlc -verbose -custom -cclib -lcamlidl -o extest \
    ex.o ex_stubs.o ex.cmo extest.cmo
+ gcc -Wl,-E -o 'extest' -I'/usr/lib/ocaml/3.08.3'  /home/chs/tmp/camlprim262817.c  '-L/usr/lib/ocaml/3.08.3' '-lcamlidl' 'ex.o' 'ex_stubs.o' -lcamlrun -lm  -ldl -lcurses -lpthread
