RTEMS web server linking error !

[OUTWATER]

I'm having a different problem:

/home/vac4050/usr/local/rtems/bin/m68k-rtems-gcc --pipe 
-B/home/vac4050/usr/local/rtems//gen68360/lib/ -specs bsp_specs -qrtems -g -Wall 
-ansi -fasm  -O4 -fomit-frame-pointer       -mcpu32       -L 
/home/vac4050/usr/local/rtems//gen68360/lib    -o o-optimize/http.exe  
o-optimize/init.o   /home/vac4050/usr/local/rtems//gen68360/lib/no-dpmem.rel 
/home/vac4050/usr/local/rtems//gen68360/lib/no-msg.rel 
/home/vac4050/usr/local/rtems//gen68360/lib/no-mp.rel 
/home/vac4050/usr/local/rtems//gen68360/lib/no-part.rel 
/home/vac4050/usr/local/rtems//gen68360/lib/no-signal.rel     
o-optimize/init.o: In function `Init':
/home/vac4050/projects/netdemos-4.5.0-beta3/http/init.c:76: undefined reference 
to `_binary_tarfile_size'
/home/vac4050/projects/netdemos-4.5.0-beta3/http/init.c:76: undefined reference 
to `_binary_tarfile_start'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status 
make: *** [o-optimize/http.exe] Error 1


Do I need to modify my linkcmds file to define  _binary_tarfile_size and 
_binary_tarfile_start, or is there something else wrong?

And suggestions appreciated!
