Maybe my question belongs better on a gnu newsgroup, but how can I get my
gcc (1.39) to get ld to link /lib/pcrt1.o in a similar fashion to cc -Xp?
Sounds easy to change the gcc source code myself, but is there anything
already present that I'm missing?


In light of those articles about POSIX on ISC causing kernel panics I'm
probably going to stay away from this in my real applications, but I was
just curious to see some of the POSIX stuff (like "sigaction") actually work.
