Right you are, Bruce.  For starters, I'm going to change
/usr/lib/Makefile so that the first three directories built are
csu, libc, and <math library>, in that order.  It should solve all
existing dependency problems, even if it's not really a complete
solution.  Ultimately, all the libraries need to be reordered in
the Makefile, based on their interdependencies.  Most of the
interdependencies are hidden currently, because they're not explicitly
specified (as is the "-lm" in libtcl/Makefile).
