There used to be a tool called mksymdb which ran over your whole system and created a dbm of all or your libraries. Then when you got an unresolved symbol error, you just ran locsym and it immediately told you what library or libraries defined the global. It was written in perl and it is still lying around but it's very much out of date. Has anyone seen anything like this. I could rewrite it.
