That is almost certainly due to a problem detecting ranlib during
configuration.  Could you please post the contents of config.log and
configure.log?

The real fix for this is to support shared libraries.
But there are some much easier things you can do which may
improve things a lot:
(1) Try using `strip' on the executable.
(2) Build it in grade hlc.gc, it'll probably be 2-3 times smaller.
	mmake hello_world.clean
	mmake GRADE=hlc.gc hello_world.depend
	mmake GRADE=hlc.gc hello_world
    or just
        mmc -H hello
