System name:		tailgunner
Type and version:	KN01 7.3P
Display type:		PMAX-MFB

What were you trying to do?
	Compile a C program, and check my usage of cc with the man page. 

What's wrong:
	The man page for cc on the mips says:

	   Syntax
	     cc [ option ] ... file

	This is incorrect.   For example, you can't do

		cc -lm foo.c

	You have to do 

		cc foo.c -lm

	I.e., the file can't be the last argument. 

What should have happened:
	The syntax specification should be more accurate. 

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	[Please replace this line with the appropriate description.]
