RE: I want to build a library rather than an executable

I don't think using ld directly is a good idea.
In that case you should to take care about libstdc++, libgcc at least.

To create a shared library, I do something like:

	ld -G -o mylib.so obj1.o obj2.o
	
For a static library, I do something like:

	ar cr mylib.a `lorder obj1.o obj2.o | tsort`
	
You can replace the names with variables in a Makefile as you would with 
anything else.  These lines are the ones that create the final library file.  
You, of course, have to compile your C++ files into object files as normal (i.e. 
g++ -c -o obj1.o obj1.cpp).

Hope this helps.
