Hmm, ok. Let's try the following to see what command is being run to
link stapio - "make -n stapio". On my system, the output looks like (run
from the 'staprun' directory):

====
# make -n stapio
rm -f stapio
echo "  CCLD    " stapio;gcc -Wall -Wextra -Werror -Wunused -W
-Wformat=2  -g -O2 -fstack-protector-all -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2   -o stapio
stapio.o mainloop.o common.o ctl.o relay.o relay_old.o monitor.o
libstrfloctime.a -lpthread -ljson-c   -lpanel -lncurses -ltinfo
====

The above output makes sense:

  gcc {other options} -o stapio {bunch of .o files} {libraries} -ljson-c
{other libraries}

Hopefully we'll see something similar with your output.

I've also attached a small test program. For me it compiles/links
correctly with:

# gcc -o jsonc-test jsonc-test.c -ljson-c

Does it work for you?
