> `__imp__color_test_mode'

The '__imp' prefix signifies a shared library - so, if (as I suspect) this 
symbol is supposed to be resolved by the gettext library, then the message 
that you've got a *static* library hasn't "got through".

It may, in fact, be simpler to build a shared library. What 'undefined 
reference' did you strike when you tried that ?

Cheers,
Rob
