For more stabbing in the dark,

if cc(1) and fcc(1) don't accept "-L", have you tried "-Wl,-L" (the
letter after the -W is an "ell")?  That should force the -L to go to
the loader.

If all else fails, you can specify the libraries fully, e.g.,

	/floppy/lib/libc.a

fcc(1) should ask to have the floppy mounted if it isn't already.  If
fcc(1) still demands a libc.a, you could create an empty one with
ar(1) and place it in a ramdisk /lib.  If all references are resolved
by a previously specified /floppy/lib/libc.a , there will be no
complaints about an empty /lib/libc.a.
