1. Kernel Extension(system call) loaded but could not call it !!!!

Hi ,
can anybody tell me why I am unable to call my own system call.

/* This is the kernel extension I wrote */

testcall_entry(int cmd, struct uio *uio)
{

   if (cmd == CFG_INIT) {
      if (pincode(testcall_entry) != 0) { /* pin the kernel ext into
memory */
         return(ENOMEM);                  /* report error  */
         }
      }
   else {
      unpincode(testcall_entry);
   }
   return(0);

/* These are the steps I followed to compile the extension */
cc -c -O -qlist -qsource testcall.c
ld -e testcall_entry -T512 -H512 -bI:./testcall.exp -bI:./kernex.exp
testcall.o -o testcall

/* this is a test system call */
int testcall()
{
        return 10;

Yes I did load the kernel extension and it was loaded successfully and
gave me kmid also.

/* This is a sample file to test system call */
main ()

{
        int val = 0;

        printf ("value before testcall %d\n",val);
        val = testcall ();
        printf ("value after testcall %d\n",val);

/* This is what I use to compile this program */
cc -bI:./kernex.exp -bI:./testcall.exp sample.c

/* This is the error it gives  when I run the a.out file */
exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program a.out because of the following
errors:
        0509-023 Symbol testcall in a.out is not defined.
        0509-026 System error: Cannot run a file that does not have a
valid format.
