There is no way to tell the linker to skip all stdio objects.  However,
you could ar xv libc.a and then search the objects for STDIO references
(using strings if you header files include ident strings, or nm (looking
for stdio functin references/declarations) otherwise) and then use 
ar cv testlibc.a with all the objects that did not match.
