Not even that -- the functions in question are all virtual, so
as soon as I create an instance I get the.

And in fact, that was the problem.  I'd just forgotten to
include the .tcc file in the header.  Being somewhat new to
shared libraries under Linux, and having had a couple of other
problems, due to missing compiler options, I was looking for a
complicated problem, rather than something that simple.
