These routines are in the kernel.  To resolve them at link time, you need to 
add the following option to your link command.

-bI:/lib/kernex.exp

This tells ld that those symbols contained in that file are resolved from
/unix (this is the first line of that file).  When the program is loaded
those symbols are resolved by the loader.

See "Kernel Extension Binding" in info.
