You use a broken version of slang. The linker call lacks the map file
which maps the symbol versions.

This usualy means you use an outdated or otherwise broken build
environment. Please provide proper informations about the packages you
use in the bugreport.
This i what i got on the PowerPC machine where mklibs failed to operate
on libslang2

as you can see, the /usr/lib/libslang_pic.map file was not provided by
that version of the package, so i modified the /etc/apt/sources.list
file to take debs from unstable instead of lenny and, after updating the
package list, a new libslang2-pic package, version 2.0.7-3 again, was
pulled in, this time providing the needed map file and i could
successfully complete the building of the installer.
Still, i wonder why i had to mess with sources.list to get the correct
package.
Many thanks for helping me solve this issue!
