DOS Cross-Development, Argument Expansion

I need help getting rational argument wild-card expansion in
MS-DOS at run-time. I am using Xenix 2.2.6 (2.2.4 with VP/IX
extensions) on a Tandy 4000.
The MS-DOS Microsoft C manuals refer to a procedure using the
setargv.obj library in place of the standard stdargv.obj during
linking. I have not been able to find any such discussion in any
of the SCO Development System manuals. I have found what appear
to be corresponding functions in the /usr/lib/dos directory
(Ldsetargv.o, Mdsetargv.o,...), but have not been able to find a
combination that works.
When I try:
cc -dos -Ml tst.c /usr/lib/dos/Ldsetargv.o ...
I get something to the effect that it cannot file _wild during
the link phase.
I have tried extracting stdargv.obj from the Ldlibc.a library and
replacing it with Ldsetargv.o, and while the compile works it
hasn't done the wild-card expansion.
What am I doing wrong? (other than trying to use Dumb-DOS of course)
