Sorry--that was a typo in my e-mail, not in my command line.  I had -lgcc.  I was trying to follow the suggestions found here:
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.7.0/gcc/Link-Options.html#Link-Options
--under "-nodefaultlibs."

I know, but my command line only had one library search path and one source file.  Anyway, I'll try your suggestion with "make check."
