But in case of these 3 files there's no documentation in the source .c 
files, so I guess it's quite correct these are 0 bytes long. Or maybe 
not "correct", but "expected"...

I'm confused... Do the 5 files above "link" any external .def files or 
maybe the other way around?

I can attach output of configure and make info pdf if that makes any

described previously...
