on an ipc with absolute minimum configuration (512K ram, internal
floppy), i've been trying to compile various utilities.  i've found 
that the only way i could use cc in this configuration was to ensure 
that the floppy was mounted as /tmp.  for libraries, though, like
curses, a ram directory (eg /lib or /usr/lib) had to be created and 
the needed library placed there because the -L option of the cc 
command would not work.  my specific question is:  is the -L option 
really not implemented in spite of the ipc man page description?
in general, does anyone else successfully operate in this spartan 
environment?
