Maybe. I'm somewhat dubious about the true need for libpcc but that's
how I use it so as to not deviate from upstream defaults so perhaps it
is better to just include libpcc.

daniel@'s reply to that (4 year old) mail clearly states "you need
libpcc" as well as immediately saying that one shouldn't bother with 1.1.0.
DEFLIBS is found at pcc/cc/cc/cc.c:224 (on the latest cvs code) where it
is defined to be { "-lpcc", "-lc", "-lpcc", 0 }. Your patch changes it
to { "-lc", NULL }.
