Hi, Thanks a lot for the help. I've gotten to a point where g++ no longer complains about missing functions in my program. It now complains about some system(?) functions: $ cross-g++ -Bstatic -Xlinker -T -Xlinker temp.ld -o standalone_program xyz.o abc.o In function `__libc_csu_init': ../../elf-init.c:66: undefined reference to `__init_array_start' .. : undefined reference to `__init_array_end' .. : undefined reference to `__fini_array_start' .. .. If I specify the "-shared" option, it doesn't throw these errors. But I need to build a standalone program with the standard libraries built in - hence the "-Bstatic" option.
