Which library contains the malloc object code?
Normally the C library.
What is the name of the main C library the gcc links to?
libc. Often named /usr/lib/libc.a and/or /usr/lib/libc.so.
On a GNU/Linux system, the C library is glibc; see
http://sourceware.org/glibc/.

Thanks for the info. How do I display the contents of libc.a.
I tried ar -t libc.a and malloc did not show up.
However, if I open lib.c with a hex editor I can see that the symbol
__malloc exitst is libc.a
