Did you build libapi.a yourself? or use the downloaded libs? There will
likely be compatibility problem with a C library mismatch when linking a
lib built with an older C library w/ object build on a really new C
library.

If you can build the tet package from the source, this problem shouldn't
happen.

You will need to use 'wbuild' instead of make to build individual
directories. It takes care of setting all of the env for you.
