I see, so the -L options work for libs specified by -l options but not
indirect libs like libz. Strange. So I added -lz to my collect2 command and
that much works now. I got an xclock executable but... it goes into an
infinite loop when I try to run it.

At least I got past the linker error. Thanks!

Here's what strace shows and then it pauses (while still using 100% CPU)
for about 20 secs.
