I find it hard to believe there is no C library.  Did you check in /lib
as well? (it wouldn't be in an include directory).  How'd you manage to
build stuff before without the static library?  I always get a linker
error (but then, all the shared libraries are stripped of symbols too).

Yes, but there're complications with having more than one C library on
the system, especially if they're from different "vendors".

Yes you could get GNU Libc, but maybe you'd be better off getting the
libc that gets distributed with the BSD's (I believe it's different).

I think that maybe you could build it in /usr/local/lib, but then you
may or may not need to use an LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libc.so.6 or
whatever in order to run GRASS programs and not have them do weird
things.  I don't know for sure.
