When compiling under recent binutils installed, you will see complaints about _bss_end__ and _bss_start__ and some similar symbols when trying to link system.vpi. This appears to be a problem with the binutils package. binutils-20001029 does not play nice with Icarus Verilog . Downgrade to the 20000625 version and you should be OK for now. The ivl-bugs PR#58 is available to track this particular issue.
