Uh, works, kind of... 

| build/src/library/eda/src $ f77 -o eda.so -bM:SRE -bexpall -bnoentry line.o smooth.o 
| ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .rsort
| ld: 0711-345 Use the -bloadmap or -bnoquiet option to obtain more
| information.

The problem is that rsort is defined in sort.c.  So I put all the R
files in src/main into a library:

| build/src/main $ ar cr libR.a *.o

And run the linker again:

| build/src/library/eda/src $ f77 -o eda.so -bM:SRE -bexpall -bnoentry
| line.o smooth.o -L../../../main -lR  -L../../../unix -lunix
| -L../../../appl -lappl -L../../../nmath -lmath -lX11 -ldl -lblas

No error messages this time, but eda.so is big: 3020844 bytes.

Something ain't right here.  There should be a way of telling the
linker to not include the libs.  It should verify that all functions that
are referenced will be defined at runtime.  Comments?
