Okay, this is a debian 7.something with the packaging manually fnurgled, fixed (I hope) with 'apt-get upgrade' this morning -- and usr/lib contains both '386-linux-gnu' and 'x86_64-linux-gnu' -- But neither of these contain a file named 'libc.so' or 'libm.so'.
Tried 'apt-get install libc.so; and 'apt-get install libm.so'
[I think the latter gave me a bunch of irrelevant stuff!]
and the result is still:
make pd_linux
gcc -DPD -O2 -funroll-loops -fomit-frame-pointer -Wall -W -Wshadow -Wstrict-prototypes -Werror -Wno-unused -Wno-parentheses -Wno-switch -I../../src -fPIC -o obj1.o -c obj1.c
ld -shared -o obj1.pd_linux obj1.o -lc -lm
ld: cannot find -lc
ld: cannot find -lm
make: *** [obj1.pd_linux] Error 1
