Where on earth did you read that?  This would only apply if you were
writing your own libraries in assembler.

It is apparent that you are not the person who installed the compiler
on your system; the installation procedure asks you which libraries
you want built and where you want them put.

I suggest you look in the directory where the compiler is.  You should
have a BIN subdirectory containing the executables, an INCLUDE
subdirectory containing header files, and a LIB subdirectory containing
libraries. You must also set environment variables pointing to these
directories.  Stop speculating and dig up the documentation describing
the installation procedure; you'll find more details there.
