that's not what i meant.
i was referring to Pd-extended's build system (rather than the
binaries), which sometimes makes it awkward to compile an external.

i assume you got the aka.wiiremote sources via svn from
https://pure-data.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pure-data/trunk/externals/io/aka.wiiremote

by "checkout the entire 'externals' branch" i meant, you should checkout
the entire "externals" directory:
$ svn co
https://pure-data.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pure-data/trunk/externals/

then repeat the steps (aka.wiiremote has no real makefile, instead it's
make instructions are within
https://pure-data.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pure-data/trunk/externals/Makefile)

no; you are still producing an executable rather than a library.
try to compile another external (that works) and see which exact
compiler/linker commands are called.
