Recompiling a C++ iPhone app with Xcode 4 I get this nasty linker error:

ld: bad codegen, pointer diff in __static_initialization_and_destruction_0(int, int)
to global weak symbol vmml::Vector2<float>::ZERO for architecture armv6

Anyone know what it means? How to make it go away would be nice too of course :)

The app compiled & linked without error in Xcode 3.

Edit: the solution is to set Symbols Hidden By Default to Yes in all the build settings of all targets in the project. Still none the wiser what the actual problem was.
