I don't know, but I can tell you that that symbol (a reference to a C 
array) is defined in the core's utf8.h file.  The macro DOINIT must be 
defined in order to get the definition; otherwise the symbol is just a 
declaration of the array which is defined elsewhere.  Things are 
supposed to work out that DOINIT is defined just once automatically in 
the compilation.
