I found that the missing functions were Carbon lib functions available 
in MSL_All_Carbon.lib.
So I tried the link with the addition of that library and got the same 
errors.
I sent all this to our tech. support contact at MetroWerks and his reply 
is below.

I guess the answer to his first question ("from OS X or Darwin") is 
Darwin, right?

He also seems to be saying that mixing BSD headers and MW libs could be 
part of the problem.

I confess that we're quickly running up against the limits of my 
knowledge. I have requested more help from MetroWerks. We'll see if they 
offer anything.

Hi Stephen,

Are you doing this from OS X or Darwin,   I don't think our libraries will
work on Darwin.  Darwin is the BSD layer.

The other reasons you get these errors is you have the wrong headers.  If
you get one of the BSD headers and use our libs you get all sorts of errors.
