Thank you! I should have given Mr. Moshier proper credit. I am also
aware of the link you referred me to, my right now porting those
libraries to GCC is a little beyond my skill set, so being able to
access the qfloat functionality thru Mr. Navia's lcc-win32 "wrapper" is
a good start.

You don't have to know anything. They come with their own makefiles.

At most, you will have to know what kind of machine you are compiling on (if
it is not a 32 bit platform or has odd endianness or something).

The standard makefile will probably fit your situation.

Just expand this archive:
http://www.moshier.net/qlib.zip
and type "make"

The Cephes functions are even the default math functions used in some linux
distributions (IIRC).
