Description

We are having problems with the configuration scripts. Our compiler
refuses to accept `-lm' & `-lc' GNU style command line switches to
denote linking with a standard library. They are hardcoded in
`libc_decl.sh' and `makefile.common'. We propose introducing a special
`Makefile' variable `WITHOUT_BASE_LIBS' that excludes generating them
for compilation of configuration files during the configure step.

Patch is against trunk.
