Just to close this issue -- I edited sitypes.h and ifdef'ed out the main
body of it and everything linked fine without the unresolved externals.   A
few things in there were getting put in the symbol table and because I was
compiling without DVB sitypes.cpp was not included (though sitypes.h is
still pulled in by some files).

I'm using gcc 2.95 (because I was experimenting with my xbox); I think later
versions behave differently and don't put items in the symbol table that
don't get actually used.

So in some ways this is a 'bug' and in other ways its a compiler issue -
depending on your point of view.
