The problem is caused because NtCurrentTeb is defined as "extern 
inline". Your compiler appears to have decided not to inline the 
function so it expects to be able to link to the function. However, the 
tests aren't linked to ntdll as they need to run on win9x machines. The 
solution that is probably the best is to include an implementation of 
NtCurrentTeb at the end of the test to be used if there is no inline 
version.
