well, this is a relatively arcane bug, so here are some (perhaps) more 
arcane work-arounds....

(1)  put a dummy floating point routine in your code, such as:

nonsense()
{
	float z = 3.14;
}

(2)  really use some floating point in your program, if appropriate.

(3)  as root, run ranlib on /lib/libc.a.  this may have the perhaps
unwanted side-effect of loading floating point code even into programs which
don't need it, but... if you have memory and disk space to spare, it's probably
not major.

i kind of prefer (1) and (2), myself.

hope this helps.  and thanks to those who pointed this out to me (although
they may not want to be named!)
