Right, thanks. I was looking at first to modify CFLAGS and LDFLAGS (as I
thought would be cleaner) but I have got it working by just modifying CC and
LINKCC instead (following the crowd on that one).



[Trent blames placing *.a on the cc command line for his problems and Thomas
and Barry, etc. tell Trent that that cannot be]

Okay, I don't know what I was on. I think I was flailing for things to blame.
I have got it working with simply listing the .a on the command line.



Thanks,
Trent
