Joshua,

What you need is a '.so' file (being a 'shared object') and not just the
'.o' files. Generating the shared objects is done by a separate linker pass
and I *think* this is not (yet) integrated in the Unix makefiles. Thus, your
..o file is useless for the purpose of using it with Squeak - it lacks
critical information and I'm sort of amazed that it's actually being found
by the search process from the VM [Note to Ian: You should probably remove
'.o' from the list of extensions to search for ;-)]
