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"?
