strange COM problem under CE 6

COM/DCOM is very heavily componentized, check out
http://blogs.msdn.com/cenet/archive/2006/11/29/dcom-demystified-kindof-on-ce-6.aspx
for background.

Looking at the ATL file you're hitting errors, those fcns are only brought
in when this #ifdef is set.

#if !defined(_WIN32_WCE) || (!defined(_ATL_STATIC_LIB_IMPL) &&
!defined(_ATL_DLL_IMPL) && defined(_CE_DCOM))

We have this ifdef because those fcns are supported on CE devices that
support the full cross-proc COM. So looks like you have _WIN32_WCE defined
to get the fcns, but didn't build with full DCOM to get the actual fcn
definitions?

I have COM application that works when built under the Windows Mobile 6
SDK. I am porting over to a custom Windows CE 6.0 platform and I have
included all the COM
and ATL components in the CE 6 image. I build and installed the CE 6 SDK.

When I build the application under CE 6 SDK I get these errors (plus a lot
more just like it)

Can someone tell me what these errors mean and how to correct?
