I don't understand it either (the complaint, specifically, is about 
"changing the search order for system directory").  I've got a request 
outstanding for an explanation.

Tried it; got a complaint that '-compatibility_version' only works with 
'-dynamiclib'; so I added that and got our old friend the multiple 
definition error:

ld: multiple definitions of symbol _hiremainder
kernel.o definition of _hiremainder in section (__DATA,__common)
mp.o definition of _hiremainder in section (__DATA,__common)
ld: multiple definitions of symbol _overflow
kernel.o definition of _overflow in section (__DATA,__common)
mp.o definition of _overflow in section (__DATA,__common)
alglin1.o definition of _hiremainder in section (__DATA,__common)
alglin1.o definition of _overflow in section (__DATA,__common)
