Subject: [PATCH] tc: make tc linking depend on libtc.a

There was a race condition where the command to link the tc binary
could (rarely) run before the libtc.a archive existed.

Hi,

I've hit a random failure during parallel builds:

    ld: cannot find -ltc

The issue seems to be that both tc and libtc.a are permitted to build in
parallel, when tc actually depends on libtc.a.  This patch adjusts the
Make prerequisites accordingly.  Can something like this be applied?

Thanks.

David
