If anybody has the foggiest idea what's going on with this, I'd appreciate an 
explanation.  Possibly gcc is inlining the symbols while making the .o files?  
Do I actually have to care?  I just added the -static-libgcc thing to 
CHECKED_CFLAGS and that at least _built_, but I dunno if that's because the 
check_cc macro actually _works_ (which the check_ld macro doesn't seem to), 
or because the compiler liked it.

Should I check this in, or drop it?
