Having linking problems with atomic_inc(), atomic_dec_and_test() in user app, help!

Hi Linux Guys,

I have what I hope is an easy question for you... I have am writing an
user-space application that does some multithreading (using pthreads), and
does some thread-safe reference counting by using the functions in
asm/atomic.h.  Specifically, I'm using the atomic_inc(atomic_t *) and
atomic_dec_and_test(atomic_t *) functions.

Under Red Had Linux 7.1 on an Intel box, the program compiles and links fine.
Under LinuxPPC 2.2.17-0.6.1, however, the link fails with the error output
that is included below -- it fails whether I have optimization enabled (-O3),
or not.  Is there some special library I need to link in, or magic compiler
flag needed in order to access those functions?  Any advice?

Also, what does "relocation truncated to fit: R_PPC_REL24 atomic_inc(atomic_t
*)" mean?

Thanks,
Jeremy
