Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gcc-4.5
-nostdlibs is a typo of -nostdlib. gcc silently ignores this type and link to the standard libraries. Sample output: $ make -B no-header-files-example gcc -Wall -pedantic -std=c99 -nostdlibs -o no-header-files-example no-header-files-example.c $ ./no-header-files-example 12565 ** Affects: gcc-4.5 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/796429 Title: Ignores wrong option -nostdlibs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcc-4.5/+bug/796429/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
