The problem is the -belf flag. Remove it and all your troubles will go away.
EGCS does elf by default, but even if it didnt and you wanted to force ELF
mode, the flag is -melf, not -belf. That is a left-over from Robert Lipe's
GDS for SCO, whose aim it was to emulate the SCO C COmpiler flags. I chose
to use -melf instead of -belf to be more consistent with the GCC command
line flags.
