[Coco] C libs under Nitros9

I'm not absolutely about this, but I think only the required module, 
otherwise, why would the C compiler need the pffinit() and pflinit() calls 
to force the addition of code for longs and floats, which are in the clib.l 
file?

I wonder how we could test that?
Write a bit of code that uses a library call; compile it, and check the file 
length. If the file length is more than the length of the library file, then 
it's likely that all of the library is added.
