[pups] Stupid question..

Hey.

I'm playing around with a /53 running 2.11BSD, trying to port some 
software, and I have a (probably stupid) problem: environ.

When I write a simple program like

#include <stdio.h>

extern char **environ;

void main(argc, argv)
int argc;
char **argv;
{
    printf("Hello world!");
    environ=environ;
}

and compile & link it using cc ("cc -o test test.c"), things go fine, 
however if I link things manually ("cc -c test.c ; ld -o test test.o -lc")
I get an unresolved _environ. By some experimentation, I noticed that
including /lib/crt0.o in the linker helps to some extent - however,
the binary generated by cc works like a charm, while the manually
linked version quits with a bus error. Any ideas?
