|Perhaps it's not as semi-obvious as you think.  All the world's not SysV.
	No, an unresolved external caused by a missing library or
	object module is exactly what's wrong.
	There may not be a library to link with to fix it,
	and there may be other things to fix the root cause
	but that is the	problem with the link described above.
