.lcomm, to be precise.
That's easy to work around. Just add 'int dummy;' to your source
file compiled with gcc, and you have 4 bytes in bss section.

They're from newlib. http://sources.redhat.com/newlib/
Again, i suppose Watcom runtime provide log10 function, but symbol is
probably named log10_ or log10, not _log10. And you also have to check
that calling conventions and 'float' and 'double' formats (if you're
using floats) are compatible if you want your modules to interoperate.
