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.
This is something from the days of static linking which should be of no real interest these days anymore. Nobody should be any status linking and all DSOs should pull in their dependencies automatically.
This specific problems wouldn't be adequately analyzed any way. It would tell you "link with libc_nonshared.a" but this is not the correct answer. It is the offending DSO which should have been linked with that archive, not the program spewing out the error message.
