I'm not sure that it is possible to give a better message.  It would
be nice if we could issue detailed warnings telling you exactly what
went wrong with linking the function and how to fix it, but I believe
that the only information that comes back from the dynamic linker
typically indicates only success or failure.

But, if you have a better way, please submit a patch.

Thanks,
