You need to put the -lpc at the _end_ of the gcc command line, not the
beginning.  ld is a one-pass linker, which means that if it sees -lpc before
the code which uses it, it won't know that it needs to link the functions.

BTW, are you using version 1.12 or version 2.0?  In 2.0, libpc.a is simply
an empty library, as all its functions are included in libc.a.  If you are
using
2.0, then your problem is something other than what I said above.
