I just looked at this problem. As far as I can tell, TC simply doesn't link
the floating point routines if the only references are *printf or atof. The
solution I obtained from other sources was to include the statement:


              (void)exp(1.0);

somewhere in the code. This call need be done only once, and it appears to
force TC to link the necessary routines.

BTW - I got this solution from somebody on the "C" bboard, and got my ears
pinned back for daring to post a question about TC on that board. They ain't
the friendliest people in the world over there.
