These are all symbols from libreadline.  Please find the place this
library is sitting at on your system and link explicitly against it by 
adding either -lreadline or /path/to/readline.a to the command that
starts with `g++ -g -O2...' above.  If you cannot find this libaray, you
may get it from <ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/readline/>, compile and install it.
HTH.  (BTW: It's only ginsh that uses libreadline for command-line
editing, completion and such.  The rest of GiNaC works without it.)

Regards
     -rbk.

PS:  BTW, you have probably received warnings like this one when
     configuring GiNaC:
     checking for readline/readline.h... no
     checking for readline in -lreadline... no
PPS: Just to make sure, since you have the SPARC/EGCS-2.91.xx combination:
     You did add `-O2 -fno-schedule-insns' to the CXXFLAGS when you
     compiled CLN, didn't you?  Personally, I don't know of anybody
     who has tried out GiNaC on such a system yet, but I don't know why
     it shouldn't work.  Can you please drop me a note when you find out
     it's working?
