On closer look I saw that the warning about pqFlush vs PQflush was from the
library tool (TLIB), not the linker. The linker is apparently
case-sensitive by default, so there is no need for -c there. As to the
library tool, the help file says it is not case sensitive, -c makes it so,
but there is a warning against its use.  Since it seems to work as is (no
-c) I think it is best to leave it alone.
