Summary: 

I decided to post this since it seems like one of the nastier
problems one can have with the Microware compiler.

You probably ran out of disk space for the assembly output
file The second pass seems not to recognize disk errors.  This
causes the output file to be truncated, causing references to
undefined symbols.  I have seen this before and increasing the
free space on the disk always solved the problem.

Thats right, these are labels (constants) used in the assembly stage.

Use the rdump command which is supplied in source form with
the C disk.  Ident only works on executable modules, not
relocatable library files.
