Thanks, that's a useful little utility to know about, and the results were
interesting.

gnorba_CORBA_init appears to be in (surprise surprise) libgnorba.  I see this
output from nm:
libgnorba.so:0000a04c T gnorba_CORBA_init
libgnorba.so:00007438 T goad_server_list_get
libgnorba.so:00007b34 T goad_server_list_free

Those are the three functions in question.

So now I'm quite a bit more confused than before, they're there, but the linker
doesn't "see" them.  Any thoughts?  Thanks!
