- Can't seem to find memmove, or can't seem to find the gcc
- libraries? The latter should indeed contain the former.

- From the comp.lang.c FAQ list:
-
- 11.30: Why are some ANSI/ISO Standard library routines showing up as
- undefined, even though I've got an ANSI compiler?
-
- A: It's possible to have a compiler available which accepts ANSI
- syntax, but not to have ANSI-compatible header files or run-time
- libraries installed. (In fact, this situation is rather common
- when using a non-vendor-supplied compiler such as gcc.) See
- also questions 11.29, 13.25, and 13.26.
