However the cxc library and markex are a part of the
default.pdextended file provided in the packages/linux_make dir
which means that they are apparently a part of pd-extended, yet they
fail to build properly using default build scripts. So are they a
part of pd-extended or not?

You have the right source for that file, packages/linux_make. But I don't think your problems below have anything to do with that file, rather how the libraries were built and installed.

These are however included in the example default.pdsettings inside of the packages/linux_make folder. Hence my confusion. So, where is the "official" default.pdsettings then located?

For something like list-abs, with only abstractions, its just a question of getting the files in the right place. Look at the Pd-extended release for an example. For the "can't find symbol" errors, looks like those objects weren't built properly. Looks like you also threw
in a markex.pd_linux and cxc.pd_linux, which Pd-extended does not.

Hans (and others who may know the answer to the following
question),

I've tried using default.pdextended included in the ~/pd-extended/packages/linux_make/ folder in conjunction with the latest build of pd-extended (built from scratch) for auto-loading some of the libs and found that some of the newly recompiled externals report errors as follows:

Interestingly cxc's object that throws unknown symbol as part of
lib opens just fine and behaves (AFAIK) as expected.

Also, FWIW, these compiled without a hitch on 0.42.5 extended.

So, I guess my question is, is the latest pd-extended meant to use default.pdextended at all and if so, what is the reason for the
said errors?

Please advise.
