how to invoke ld without gcc

[K. Ahmed Feroz]

Hi all,

I am facing the following errors while invoking the 'gnu linker'
directly without using the driver 'gcc':

GNU mips ld version is 2.8

<$> ./mips-elf-gcc -T idt.ld <startupRoutine>.o <Test>.o -o <Test>.out

where <startupRoutine> used is crt0.S

crt0.o: In function `zerobss':
../../../../src/libgloss/mips/crt0.S:88: undefined reference to
`get_mem_info'
../../../../src/libgloss/mips/crt0.S:88: relocation truncated to fit:
R_MIPS_26 get_mem_info
crt0.o: In function `init':
../../../../src/libgloss/mips/crt0.S:136: undefined reference to
`__do_global_dtors'
../../../../src/libgloss/mips/crt0.S:136: undefined reference to
`__do_global_dtors'
../../../../src/libgloss/mips/crt0.S:137: undefined reference to
`atexit'
../../../../src/libgloss/mips/crt0.S:137: relocation truncated to fit:
R_MIPS_26 atexit
../../../../src/libgloss/mips/crt0.S:153: undefined reference to `exit'
../../../../src/libgloss/mips/crt0.S:153: relocation truncated to fit:
R_MIPS_26 exit

but, when 'ld' is invoked through 'gcc', it works fine:

<$> ./mips-elf-gcc -gdwarf-2 -T idt.ld <Test>.o -o <Test>.out

presumably because 'gcc' itself is arranging for all the required
libraries which I am failing to provide in the command line argument of
'ld'.

Please let me know the names of the required library, or if possible,
the complete command line arguments.
