shr.o is an object that is staticly llinked into libc.a (the c runtime lib) 
which
usually lives in /lib or /usr/lib.  confirm this with "ar t /lib/libc.a" && look
for "shr.o"

you can try 3 things:
1) before you run your "mkwspswd" command, set an exported environ var named
   "SHLIB_PATH", whose value = "/lib:/usr/lib".

   (ex., sh: SHLIB_PATH=/lib:/usr/lib export SHLIB_PATH")

   now run your "mkwspswd".  if you still get the SAME error, then it was linked
   incorrectly.  you must tell ld where to look for shared libraries.

2) it must have been told to look somewhere, so see if its looking in the
   current directory.

        try "ln -s /lib/libc.a ./libc.a; mkwspswd"

   if this works, it is a sloppy fix, but if you still get the same error,
   it was definitely linked incorrectly.

3) relink the program with
        cc -o mkwspswd \
          $MYSRCLIST $MYOBJECTLIST ... -L/lib -L/usr/lib ...$OTHEROPTS...

   this will force the new mkwspswd command to look in /lib && /usr/lib without
   looking at $SHLIB_PATH.  you gotta have the source, but, This _ALWAYS_ works
   for me.

good luck...
