There is no need in v2.0 for either -lpc or -lm.  This was one of the 
major causes of confusion among users in v1.x, so DJ decided to kill them 
and put everything into libc.a (which gets searched automatically by the 
linker).  There is a libpc.a file, but it's an empty library, and exists 
for the sake of the Makefiles which mention it explicitly.  The default 
math functions are also in libc.a, but alternative, more well-behaving 
(if sometimes slower) versions of math functions exist in libm.a, so that 
whoever needs those and remembers to use -lm gets rewarded, while naive 
users don't get punished.

Now, isn't this one happy world!
