I built gcc 2.2.2 on a 486 machine with ISC Unix 3.0.

I tried to build a Public domain program called XcRichText, which
has some c++ code.  I used gcc 2.2.2.

I got the following undefined refs:
_assert__FPcT0i                     ../libXc.a
strcat__FPcPCc                      ../libXc.a
strchr__FPCci                       ../libXc.a
_15ParagraphFormat.default_tab_width_ ../libXc.a
strcspn__FPCcT0                     ../libXc.a

When I built with the -S option, I noticed that the assembly language
output does indeed make the latter references.

E.G.:
  Why does gcc build an instruction like:
     call strcat__FPcPCc
instead of just:
     call strcat???
