A further question about specifying libraries in rhide-
When compiling *.cc files the iostream library is specified by default.
When I've gone to the library box and checked no standard libs, the
command rhide issues 
is gcc -d -nostdlib *.o -liostr
Is there anyway go get that library out of the link?
