Subject: Using kld functions in other kld's?

> I'm trying to access one kld's functions from another kld in FreeBSD 5.3.
> Even though I have non-static functions in my first loaded kld, subsequent kldload of
> another kld that refers to those symbols gives me "link_elf: symbol blahblahblah undefined".
> I was able to do this kind of thing in FreeBSD 4.x before.
> 
> Is what I'm trying to do possible in FreeBSD 5.3?  What could be source of the problem?
> Thanks very much for any reply!
