With the subversion repository having gone on vacation, "latest"
doesn't mean much :(

I'm using gcc 4.6.2 (from openSUSE 12.1) and "the latest
i2c-tools" (that would be from October 25th if I can trust the CHANGES
timestamp) builds just fine for me. OTOH this is a linking problem, not
building problem, so the version of "ld" may be more relevant. Are you
using the same version of "ld" in both cases?

The error messages suggest that gcc (and subsequently ld) doesn't find
the symbols exported by libi2c. I can't figure out any reason why it
would be so. Can you show us the output of "nm lib/libi2c.so.0.1.0"?
This is what I get here:

This could also be a Makefile dependency issue... I can't remember
what, if anything, guarantees that the library is built before the
tools which use it.
