ah you need to specify the pim libraries as well, so:

$ gm2 -g -flibs=logitech,pim ./search.mod 

the libs specifies the order

$ gm2 -g -flibs=ulm,pim ./search.mod

The behaviour -flibs= changed so we now have to specify the order.
The pim libraries are the base so they have no dependencies on the other
library families.

Thanks for the binaries I'll update the documentation accordingly
