OK, these symbols (at least the ones involving bool scalars) should be
coming from the

  SPARSE_SMS_EQNE_OP_DECLS (SparseBoolMatrix, bool, OCTAVE_API)
  SPARSE_SMS_BOOL_OP_DECLS (SparseBoolMatrix, bool, OCTAVE_API)

  SPARSE_SSM_EQNE_OP_DECLS (bool, SparseBoolMatrix, OCTAVE_API)
  SPARSE_SSM_BOOL_OP_DECLS (bool, SparseBoolMatrix, OCTAVE_API)

  SPARSE_SMSM_EQNE_OP_DECLS (SparseBoolMatrix, SparseBoolMatrix, OCTAVE_API)
  SPARSE_SMSM_BOOL_OP_DECLS (SparseBoolMatrix, SparseBoolMatrix, OCTAVE_API)

macros in boolSparse.h and

  SPARSE_SMS_EQNE_OPS (SparseBoolMatrix, false, , bool, false, )
  SPARSE_SMS_BOOL_OPS (SparseBoolMatrix, bool, false)

  SPARSE_SSM_EQNE_OPS (bool, false, , SparseBoolMatrix, false, )
  SPARSE_SSM_BOOL_OPS (bool, SparseBoolMatrix, false)

  SPARSE_SMSM_EQNE_OPS (SparseBoolMatrix, false, , SparseBoolMatrix, false, )
  SPARSE_SMSM_BOOL_OPS (SparseBoolMatrix, SparseBoolMatrix, false)

in boolSparse.cc.  But I odn't see any place that there are
declarations for the double versions.

Can you capture the preprocessed output from xlC?  That should at
least show where these are declared or referenced in this file.  With
g++ I'd add the -save-temps option to CXXFLAGS and run

  make boolSparse.o

in the liboctave directory in the build tree.  I don't know what the
corresponding option is for xlC.
