I think this has been answered before: it doesn't work when the functions are in libraries. It only works when the respective functions are in explicitely linked object files.
This doesn't seem right - reset_cpu () will be in a library no matter where I put it (either libsc520.a or libeNET.a)
the linker treates archives differently from shared libraries by design. "linked objects" refers to .o object files, not .a archives. -mike
