Its been a while since I've done this Todd, but I believe you need to pass 
the paths to the libraries on your cc1 command line.  And since I rarely used 
cc1, I'm not sure of the syntax to do that.  You will need a LIB directory at 
the root of the filesystem, and while I built a goodly number of what is in 
this list back in the day, the library you probably want is /dd/LIB/clib.l, 
its in here:
t2|07}/DD/MAXTOR/LIB:dir

Some of the transcendental named libraries listed above have been merged into 
trig.l

That clib.l library should be on the development disks.  If the disk has 
suffered bit rot, yelp and I'll put it someplace you can grab it from.  Just 
as soon as I figure out why the outside world has no permissions for Genes-
os9-stf and nitros9.  I think everything else on my web page is working.
