Because later automated systems that detect library dependancies look for
it (for various reasons, just using 'ldd' isn't feasible, unfortunately).
I'm not invoking ld directly, only through gcc (and, to be more specific,
gcc 3.3).

The actual requirement is "'gcc -o foo foo.c' must produce an ELF binary
with a NEEDED entry of 'libc.so.12' or equivalent" for values of 'foo'
involving reasonably normal binaries.

As far as I can tell, anything explicitly linked with -l<bar> will show
up, including libc; the problem is that since the tools were developed on
Linux, originally, and are quite extensive, it isn't feasible to just say
"well, pass -lc to the compiler call".

I'll try this.

Shared libstdc++, and possibly a shared libgcc1 (I'm still not entirely
sure that's relevant, or used, in this case; I know that it's generated on
all of the other platforms).
