[Rd] embedded R resolving wrong symbols

[Warnes, Gregory R]

Hi All,

When R is embedded in python on my system (Solaris 8), calls to the c
functions 'regcomp' and 'regexec' are being resolved to the c-library,
rather than the functions compiled from regex.c.  This leads to segfaults
because the c-library functions have quite different semantics.

Is there any way to get around this, other than renaming the offending
functions?  E.G., would it be possible to use the '-wrap' argument to ld, or
perhaps there is another argument which says 'check inside this library for
symbols before looking elsewhere'?

Thanks,

-Greg
