I followed (and participated) in the thread on prc-tools-devel
at sourceforge. The problem Sally ran into turns out to be
some missing symbolic links in prc-tools-2.0.92-cygwin.tar.gz.
In /usr/m68k-palmos/lib the symbolic link from libm.a to libmf.a
is missing. The commands for creating the link are in the
source for prc-tools-2.0.92 (No change from 2.0.91).
The same is true for /usr/m68k-palmos/include/math.h.
The symbolic link to mathf.h is missing.
The build procedure builds only a single precision floating point
math library. Hence the f at the end of the names.
Maybe John can update the prc-tools-2.0.92-cygwin.tar.gz file
to include these symbolic links. Maybe there are more links missing.
