Re: Linker problem?

["Noah Aklilu" <naklilu at ualberta dot ca>]

-lc is the option that tells the linker to tie in the libc (or newlib)
library.  You are probably using printf which is in this library.  Your
linker doesn't know where to find your libc.a archive, so you will
have to give it a -L option to let it know what the library path is.

This is assuming that you installed newlib (it is separate from gcc),
if you haven't that is your problem.
