`mcount' is a symbol which is used for profiling.  It is defined in the 
profiling version of crt0.s which gets linked only of you use -pg option 
to gcc.  It seems that your library is really libc_p.a, not libc.a, that 
somehow got renamed to libc.a, and so the functions there need `mcount' 
they cannot find.
