The "@4", "@8", etc. suffixes indicate that these
functions are being used as "__stdcall" functions
from user/client code - if you're getting undefined
references for these, it means that for some reason
the definitions are not being compiled as "__stdcall"
functions.
Now look at the end of "jni.cc" for the two structs
that do not carry this annotation for the
members - probably some bug in gcc has been fixed
that let this anomaly pass earlier.
This is just speculation, mind you.
Hope this helps,
Ranjit.
