Weird. None of those symbols are used (or needed by) rpmconstant.

Here's what I see on linux/i386 w gcc:

gcc -g -O2 -fPIC -DPIC -fpie -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wstrict- 
prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wno-char-subscripts -O0 -g3 -

...

$ nm constant.o

I can't begin to guess how constant.o came to be looking
for the symbols you are reporting.

Mebbe a busted libtool injecting additional libraries from a random  
*.la file?
