Which libs to link for simple C program in gcc?

[Jüš† ä gü¥]

Anyone know the library(ies) and/or object file(s) which gcc tells ld to link in before generating a simple C program?

I am using gcc under the Dev-C++ environment on Windows, so it might be specific to that.

I know you can just use the -o switch and go the whole way of compiling a simple C file and creating the executable all in one step, but I want to use the -c switch, make an object file, and then use ld to link that object file with (the things I am asking for now) to make an executable that way.

I have tried crt1.o and crt2.o as those seemed like prime candidates, but they didn't help. I'm pretty sure it is one of the lib<nameoflib>.a files but I don't see any which seem right.

BTW, I'm not even trying to use any functions (other than main). I just want to get this to work first.

basically

int main(void){
return 0;
}

gcc -c test.c
ld test.o -l<stuff that I need now>
test

I think you need libc as well. use -lc

Actually, I don't even HAVE libc with this. The libraries I have are

crt1.o
crt2.o
crtmt.o
crtst.o
CRT_fp10.o
CRT_fp8.o
CRT_noglob.o
dllcrt1.o
dllcrt2.o

gcrt2.o

Now, out of that selection, WHICH one (or, if not one, minimal ones) do I include as my libraries in order to get a simple C program to work in DevC++'s version of gcc?
