1) I did the nm to be sure, before posting [on linux].

2) #pragma lib removes the need for specifying libraries on Plan 9:

    http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sys/doc/comp.html

    The loader is an integral part of the compilation process.
    Each library header file contains a #pragma that tells the
    loader the name of the associated archive; it is not necessary
    to tell the loader which libraries a program uses.
