The problem is that Apollo's /bin/cc compiler has two C libraries: /lib/clib
and /lib/libc.  Configure only finds one and just searches it.  It does not
search the other unless told to do so.  You need to tell it to do so by
specifying the missing library with the -l option when asked by Configure.

Unfortunately, Configure will add this -l option in the make files, which will
cause the compiler to abort when it encounters the option.  So be sure to
delete this -l option from the make files before kicking off the build.

/bin/cc will search both libaries on its own.
