Hmmm, yes, I remember this problem. There's a macro definition missing 
in the makefile; I forget which one. Or was it an environment variable 
in a batch file? Which ever... Search the file for -lgcc, find out what 
macro precedes that, and define it. It should be apparent from looking 
at the command what it needs there.
