I know it is old, but unfortunately our company is not ready to upgrade yet. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>---- Our Design ----<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>We don't expose the RTEMS command line in our program, so we would like to be able to use the nfs interface directly. The RTEMS libs provides librtemsNfs.h which contains functions for implementing nfs clients. The implementations for these functions are in nfs.c which is compiled to create 1 of 2 libs:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>-<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span><![endif]>libnfs.a<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>-<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span><![endif]>nfs.rel<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Both are needed to build.

We added it both before and after the offending object file. We also tried with the -L command to force linking by path.
