But I guess what you want to do is to suppress linking against the default libraries like libc? In this case, you could use the -nodefaultlibs option so that no system libraries are automatically used at link time. But note that you would then possibly have to explicitly link against libgcc (which is used "internally" by gcc for some optimizations or limitations of your system)! I hope that is what you're searching for ... - Andi -
