I am building a large open source visualization toolkit, VTK,
in a static library build mode. The libraries build fine,
but building one of the executables that links to them crashes
the linker with the following output:

** error 1 ** deleting default_target

** error 1 ** deleting default_target_Wrapping_Tcl

** error 1 ** deleting default_target

How do I interpret these warning messages? Is there
sufficient information here to debug the linker error?
