Oops, that last apt-get update left me with no gcc...!
But after fixing that:
root@lapcritter:/usr/lib/puredata/doc/6.externs# make pd_linux
gcc

ld -shared -o obj1.pd_linux obj1.o -lc -lm
ld: obj1.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata.str1.1' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
