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 specified, 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 configuration option.
