I write NASM (netwide assembler) program and for some reasons I needed to use some functions written in C. So, I tried to link compiled C object files with compiled Assembly objects using ld link editor. I did it by this way :
ld -m elf_x86_64 -lc --dynamic-linker=/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 object_files -o program.
And it didn't want to link and work long enough until I picked up the necessary parameters. Now this works as expected with this parameter set. But I don't understand the meaning of -lc and --dynamic-linker=/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2. What do they do ?
Afaik the latter is needed even for static binaries, anything other will confuse the loader, and it won't execute.
man ld lists its parameters.
