RTLinux: C++ static members != good ?

["Evan Harvey" <poncholio@hotmail.com>]

I have modified the hello.cpp example that came with RTLinux.  I moved class 
A to a.h and then moved class B declarations to b.h and implementation to 
b.cpp.

I can compile and run the modules no problem.

my problem comes when I try to make
int a;  //from class A
static int a;

when I load the module I get an error like

error in b.o :  unresolved symbol _1A.a

Any clue why this is?  Can I not use static members with RTLinux?  What is 
an alternative to static?

Thank you for your help.
