Thanks, libc6-dev plus build-essential were just what I needed. It never occurred to me that a distro would include gcc without also including everything needed to compile, link, and run a minimal C program, but I now realize that some installations might use gcc only for languages other than C. In any case, this "bug" can be closed now.
