Two things:
    1)  amiga.lib must follow lc.lib (i.e., LIB lc.lib, amiga.lib)
    2)  If you use floats, you must also link with a math library, for
	instance, lcm.lib.  This must precede lc.lib (i.e., LIB lcm.lib,
	lc.lib, amiga.lib).

The error arises because lc.lib depends on amiga.lib and blink searches
the libraries in the order you specify.
