1) Because I am using a tool that automatically calls gcc.  I have not yet
figured out how (if it is possible) to pass the '-lc' to the linker at the
right place using this tool (it seems to pass linker parameters at the
front of the command, not at the end.  '-lc' needs to be at the end.
2) Because it should work without it.  That is what the configuration files
are for.
3) Because others will be using the cross development system, and I do not
want to make them have to add '-lc' to all their links.
