My OS is ubuntu 14.04 32bit and my source program is test.c:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
printf("test.");
return;
}
I will compile it with the command:
gcc -S test.c
which are displayed as test.s. I collect it with the command:
as -o test.o test.s
then I want to link it to the c standard library statically. I searched for the file libc.alocated at /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.a. so I tried to associate it with the command:
ld test.o /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.a
but a lot of error messages appear:

My question is why these error messages? I'm trying to find out how the compilation system works, so instead of knowing how to solve this problem, I want more to know how this happens. The static C library seems to depend on other libraries, why and which libraries?
EDIT:
, , , gcc script.
