Undefined symbols argp_parse and arpg_usage when installing rng-tools on OSX

I am currently trying to install rng-tools on OSX, as I have a specific need for it to speed up a certain simulator that I am currently using. At first, I faced the problem of not having argp, so I installed argp-standalone from Homebrew. However, I still receive the following error message when trying to make rng-tools:

gcc  -g -O2   -o rngtest stats.o rngtest.o librngd.a 
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
"_argp_parse", referenced from:
      _main in rngtest.o
  "_argp_usage", referenced from:
      _parse_opt in rngtest.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [rngtest] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

I checked /usr/local/include/argp.h and it does seem to contain the correct function definitions referenced in rngtest.c, so any thoughts on what might be the problem?

I just needed rngtest which I managed to compile on OSX using this https://github.com/fproulx/rngtest (which also needs brew install argp-standalone). I made that into a homebrew formula which can be obtained here: https://github.com/oderwat/homebrew-experiments
