Sorry, I'd not noticed this thread before so don't know if this has been said 
yet or not.  __eprintf is in the gcc/g++ libraries, and thus is found at compile 
time when using those compilers.  But on some platforms (Solaris in my case) 
isn't found at runtime as ld.so doesn't know about that compiler configuration, 
and thus the breakage.  You can fix this by using a -R in the link stage of the 
plugin, IIRC.  Tell the .so where it should be looking to link in the compiler's 
library and find this function.

Use nm on the gcc/g++ libraries to find which one has __eprintf in.

Hope this helps,
