See the man page for gcc(1):

       -llibrary
              Use the library named library when linking.
                                                                                                                              
              The  linker  searches a standard list of directories for the li-
              brary, which is actually a file named `liblibrary.a'.  The link-
              er  then uses this file as if it had been specified precisely by
              name.
                                                                                                                              
              The directories searched include several standard system  direc-
              tories plus any that you specify with `-L'.
