I see. That appears to originate from dynload_next.c, without any
further analysis of the error. It would be valuable to let the OS
explain what it thinks went wrong. It appears that Apple found that,
as well, and introduced NSLinkEditError in OS X DR2, see

http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/macosx/ReleaseNotes/CompilerTools.html

So I'd suggest that you add appropriate calls to that function, to get
a more informative message than "failure linking new module". Once you
are done, please post your code to SF (and perhaps follow-up here to
tell us what you found).

Good luck,
Martin
