It means the linker could not find a function called terminate(void). This is
normally used by exception handlers (PGCC automaticly does this). There are 3
ways to fix it: 1) Link in the standard C++ library -lstdcx, 2) Disable
exception handling (-fno-exceptions to gcc) or 3) Write your own. The STDCXX
library may or may not be under the rules of the GNU licence.

Disabling exception handling is a default for me. If you are using exceptions,
it is really recommended your write your own terminate function. This way you
can do any shutting down necessary. The actual function is a call to exit();
