`oskit_mem_iid' is defined in `libc/oskit_mem_iid.c' and `com/oskit_mem_iid.c'.
These files are generated when the OSKit is compiled, so look for them in your
OSKit build tree.

It's defined in `oskit/com/services.h'.  It's a macro.

This is also defined in `oskit/com/services.h'.

It refers to the file `lib/liboskit_clientos.a' in the OSKit build tree.  The
options to `ld' are described in the online man page for `ld'; type `man ld'.

Good luck ---
