There is always the possibility of a bug, but in my libc (which should
be no different from 0.38 w.r.t. select), I get:
davidm@koala[lib] nm -o libc.a | grep select
libc.a:__select.o:0000000000000000 T __select
libc.a:__select.o: U errno

What version of the binutils are you using? The one that's on
azstarnet (gas+binutils.tar.gz)? If not, you might have to upgrade.
Older versions of BFD/ld don't handle weak symbols correctly.
