You'll have to show the errors.

Some that I'd expect would relate to C language infrastructure
routines that are provided by libgcc which you have probably forgotten
to provide (or never heard of til now).

I hope you are aware their are many other ways to achieve similar
things...

I suspect this is a classic case of we can help do what you are trying
to do... but if you told us what you are trying to do... we could
advise a _much_ better and simpler solution.

ie. Writing your own Standard C library is almost _never_ what you
want to do.
