unresolved symbol in svgalib - a bug?

[Peter Jay Salzman <p@dirac.org>]

hi there,

whenever an application uses svgalib, i get the error message:

(application): relocation error:
	/usr/lib/libc5-compat/libvga.so.1: undefined symbol _xstat

i checked google and debian-user archives -- one person posted the same
message awhile back, but no one replied to his post for help.

i also checked the debian bug system.  no bugs were filed related to this
problem.

anyone have any ideas how to resolve the problem?  if not, i'm going to file
a bug report against svgalib1.

pete
