: That depends on what the ``standalone'' code contains.  If your foo.o

This is the method I've been using until now.  And maybe it's the best one.  I
was just wondering, though, if I want to write an app that is linked to libc,
but doesn't have 'main', and has '_start' instead, and where I want to use ld
directly rather than indirectly through cc to link.
