Inhibit default library paths with gcc

Question

Is there a way to inhibit the default library path search with gcc? -nostdinc does this for the include path search, but -nostdlib, either by omiss

Answer 1

You can try -nodefaultlibs to avoid all the default libraries, then use -L and -l to add-back the libraries you want in the directories you want. Directories specified on the command-line with the -L option should have priority over the default directories.
