Invoking the linker directly to build executables or shared libraries is strongly discouraged. It really doesn't work properly unless you also link in the appropriate /usr/lib/crt*.o files. We rely on code in these files for: * The private stack protector cookie. * For atexit(3) to work in shared libraries that can be dlclose()ed. * For pthread_atfork(3) to work in shared libraries that can be dlclose()ed. With binutils 2.15 linking will succeed, but you might see random crashes if executable and shared libraries happen to be loaded more than 2G apart from eachother. With binutils 2.17 you'll see the R_X86_64_PC32 relocation failure, and linking will fail. In general, you should just invoke cc(1) instead of ld(1), since it will take care of all the magic.
