You're missing the C libraries. IIRC, alarm() was only implemented in the
POSIX library, not in LIBC.LIB.SYS. Try including /lib/libc.a as an RL
in the link. I'm not sure this will work, but it is worth a try. If that
fails, do the compile and link from within the shell (use c89 to do
both).

Alternately, use gcc instead of c89 (if you've installed the GNU tools).

Hope this helps.
