NAME

       klcc - compile a program against klibc

SYNOPSIS

       klcc [gcc options] [-o outfile] infile...

DESCRIPTION

       klcc  is  a  wrapper  around  gcc(1)  and  ld(1) which compiles and links a program against the klibc tiny C library.  It supports most gcc
       options.

       Unlike gcc, klcc compiles with optimization on by default.  Furthermore, the optimization level used depends on whether or not -g is speci-
       fied,  since klcc frequently uses options in the normal case which makes debugging impossible.  Therefore, compile without -g, -O, -f or -m
       option to use the default optimization level; this will generally result in the smallest binaries.  You may want to use	-s  when  linking,
       however.  Use -O0 to compile without any optimization whatsoever; this may not work depending on the version of gcc used.

       -nostdinc
	      allows to turn off klibc include files.

       Use  the  -shared  or  -static option to compile for and link against shared or static klibc.  Note that shared klibc only supports running
       against the exact same klibc binary as the binary was linked with.

       In addition to standard gcc options, klcc supports options of the form -print-klibc-option, which prints the corresponding klibc configura-
       tion option.
