Hi Ali,

 >Do I really have to include all standard object files in the main link 
statement in my makefile?

No, you do not have to include all standard object files in your main link 
statement.

Furthermore, you shouldn't include any standard object files in your main 
link statement.  That's for the standard libraries.

And if your program doesn't use any of the standard C or C++ routines / 
classes, you shouldn't need to link them in either (libstdc.a/so/lib/dll 
libstdc++.a/so/lib/dll).

Note:  it appears that you are linking GCC and Borland stuff together.  You 
probably will not be able to link GCC object code to Borland object 
code.  Very likely, different formats.  I'm not 100% sure, but that's my 
very strong hunch.

Sincerely,
--Eljay
