Ok, I see what you're saying - it isn't just failure to link. 

I'm hesitant to publish another version of the binary; potentially
making 4 variants, if 32-bit options are also to be provided (Ok, I know
UnixLib can't do that - yet). I guess the solution is to remove all
dependency on standard headers from OSLibSupport . 

Certainly stdio could and should be dropped in favour of OSLib calls.
Presumably one can't go far wrong if the header contents are the same
between the libraries?
