the lack of '-lm' in the Macintosh OS X / Dylan release seems to play
a bit of havoc w/ the build. For example, the test for libf2c.a fails,
not because the library is missing, but because -lm is missing. (the
configure looks a little like it wants to check for it but it doesn't
really need to)

i fixed it temporarily by majing a null libm.a, but i suspect this
should really be changed in the configure script

Do I understand this correctly that there is no libm.a on the above
platform?  What is used instead?

I think we could fix the problem, by first checking for libm.a (which we
do lateron anyway), and then do the Fortran checking.
