Symbol not found error after upgrading to iPhone SDK 4.0, running on 3.1.3

Question

I just upgraded to iPhone SDK 4.0, and recompiled my static libraries and app, and when I run it on a device with iOS 3.1.3 (using deployment target 3.0), it says:

dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: ___sync_fetch_and_add_4

  Expected in: /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib

I found this blog post, but it doesn't seem to give any advice other than

1. try to use gcc 4.0 instead of 4.2, and

2. it should have been fixed in the SDK 4.0.

It appears that the code he points to was fixed in SDK 4.0 (and his example of a minimal app that exhibits this behavior works fine for me), but I'm still getting this error.

Answer 1

It turns out that I had only compiled the app with deployment target of 3.0; once I also compiled the libraries with deployment target of 3.0, it worked correctly.
