A local guru could tell you how to get the library searched. But this
would not yield a correct link phase. C++ linking must included a
"static initializer resolution" phase.  Thus it must be done with a
CC command, not with a "cc" command.  You can do "cc file.c" and then
"CC file.o" if you want to.
