I am having a problem, of course, with the foreign function interface
in MCL. I am using ThinkC object file converted with ThinkPascal
to a MPW compatable object file. This works some of the time, but
at other times MCL will complain (during a ff-load) about a
"Reference to an undefined entry point ...".
What makes me think that this is a MCL problem is that the MPW
command dumpobj correctly identifies the entrypoints in my object
file (although it lists the problematic name in the dictionary,
and calls it a 'reference'...)
For instance, I have some C code that does a 'mod', and this
generates the MCL error
> Error: Reference to undefined entry point "_C_LMODS"
> While executing: ccl::ff-mark-entry
The output to the MPW dumpobj on the file is:

Thanks for any pointers you can give me to workarounds.
