Purify's ld is much more picky regarding duplicate symbols than the
GNU ld. It automatically includes libc by default. Configure,
however, includes a "-lc" when linking, causing the link to fail.
The following patch deals with the duplicate symbols by removing
libc from the libraries that Configure will probe for when it is
run with a -DPURIFY argument.
